Biomedical instrumentation training programs and courses cover the repair, maintenance and operation of medical electronic equipment. While stand-alone programs in this field are not common, biomedical instrumentation can also be studied within other related programs. For instance, at the certificate level, prospective students can find biomedical electronics technology certificates and biomedical electronics certificates.
Training in biomedical instrumentation can also be found within associate's degree programs in biomedical equipment technology or electronics technology. Courses within these programs often include hands-on training, and credits may transfer to a bachelor's degree program. There are also some biomedical engineering bachelor's degree programs that include a concentration or track in biomedical instrumentation for students who wish to learn more about the design and development of medical electronic equipment.
Program Levels in Biomedical Instrumentation: Certificate, associate's, and bachelor's.
Prerequisites: High school diploma or GED.
Online Availability: Commonly available online at the associate's level and higher.
Program Length: One year, two year, and four year programs are available.
Certificates Covering Biomedical Instrumentation
Training in biomedical instrumentation is often found as part of electronics engineering technology or biomedical electronics technology programs. Because of the hands-on nature of the repair field, distance learning is generally not available at the certificate level. Commonly, these 1- to 2-semester certificate programs require applicants to have graduated high school. Some certificate programs train associate degree holders - with some experience in the electrical field - in medical terminology and the application of electrical knowledge to the biomedical field.
Budding biomedical instrumentation technicians learn how the application of electronic equipment - like monitoring devices - to the medical field impacts healthcare professionals and patient care. Learning to fix medical equipment malfunctions can require training in:
Alternating and direct current circuits
Digital signal processing
Fundamentals of robotics
Structure of the human body
Test equipment
Associate Degrees Covering Biomedical Instrumentation
Students in these Associate of Science and Associate of Applied Science degree programs in biomedical equipment technology or biomedical instrumentation electronics learn to fix specialized electrical equipment. These 2-year programs incorporate both hands-on training and classroom instruction of theory. Applicants are required to have graduated high school or earned the equivalent.
These students apply theoretical math and physics concepts to problems in the design and repair of electrical circuits in the biomedical field. Coursework in this discipline commonly includes:
Alternating and direct currents
Computer-aided drafting
Integrated circuits
Physics
Trigonometry
