Microcredential in Clinical Engineering | Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico
The Microcredential in Clinical Engineering provides students with the fundamental knowledge, skills and experience needed for a BM Engineer working as a clinical engineer in a hospital or healthcare facility setting. As newer and more sophisticated technologies become available, hospitals are challenged to evaluate equipment, install it in the most cost-effective manner, and integrate them with existing systems to ensure the best possible operation as they are adopted into the patient care workflow.
