The CIMIT Forum provides an interdisciplinary arena to promote the exchange of ideas and information among the CIMIT community. Speakers are from around the world and from the rich research community of our local institutions, and are chosen for their pioneering work on new procedures, applications, or technologies.

CIMIT Innovation Congress & Workshops are premier events catalyzing innovations in medical device technology through Public-Private Partnerships with national leaders who are shaping tomorrow's healthcare solutions. Workshops are smaller, invitation-only, hands-on and topic-specific.

Launched by a gift from John Abele and the Argosy Foundation in 2008, the goal of the Convening Program was to study and enhance the architecture of participation across disciplines.  The program was used to experiment and assess tools and strategies for stimulating speakers, moderators and audience to think differently about an issue or topic and foster an environment where participants expect to be interactive and challenged.

CIMIT Summer Education series focus in depth on a particular topic, offering attendees the opportunity to build an understanding of a new or important clinical or technical area over four weeks and eight or more speakers.

MIT 2.75 Precision Machine Design is a course collaboration engaging MIT student engineering teams in defining a medical device problem and designing and building a prototype solution in one semester. Each year, the course has a new cast of physicians and device challenges. Robopsy, a robotic device to assist radiologists performing tumor biopsies was invented by an MIT 2.75 team led by Rajiv Gupta, MD. The team has been awarded the 2007 MIT $100K prize, the world's leading entrepreneurship competition.
