Program details

Overview

Biomedical engineering technologists keep medical technology functioning properly and manage it cost-effectively so health-care providers can rely on it for diagnosis, monitoring and treatment. Graduates take charge of maintaining and managing the medical devices used in patient care, working alongside clinicians and other members of the health-care team.
