DEGREE PROGRAMMES

History

This program has been initiated under YÖK/World Bank Project in 2002 2003 academic year. This two-year program is composed of four semesters, each 14 weeks duration. In these two years, academic courses, laboratories and also industry based learning are educated.
Biomedical equipment technicians work in hospitals, clinics and medical canters also their task in a manufacturing plants is under the supervision of engineers. Biomedical equipment technicians are responsible for installing, testing and repairing medical instruments and equipment. Biomedical equipment technicians install, repair and maintain medical equipment such as patient monitors, electrocardiographs, blood-gas analyzers, x-ray units, defibrillators, electrosurgical units, anaesthesia apparatus, pacemakers, blood-pressure transducers, spirometers, sterilizers, diathermy equipment, patient-care computers, and other related technical devices. Biomedical equipment technicians use tools such as millimetres, soldering irons and computer software to diagnose and fix mechanical problems in medical equipment. Working mainly in hospitals, Biomedical technician also train medical staff on how to use medical equipment safely.They work with engineers and hospital staff to ensure proper functioning of equipment. So one should have good electric and mechanical skills. Patience and attention to detail are also required. Good communication skills is needed as well.
