Overview

Biomedical engineers plan, install and maintain medical devices and systems in the hospital. They advise on medical devices and train staff in their operation, for example for imaging systems, endoscopy or radiation protection equipment. Some lead technical service centres in the hospital. For new and replacement purchases they evaluate devices and coordinate with IT, infection control and sterile supply. Entry is usually via a bachelor's or master's degree in biomedical engineering.
