Biomedical Engineering Technicians are the
perfect interdisciplinary professional to
tackle this mix of robotic/patient
machine. Students learn electronics
at SPC BMET program, work with their
traditional patient simulators to work
with equipment, then they move onto
human like patient simulators used by
clinicians. These robotic patients do
more than simulate signals from the
human body, but through robotics,
these simulators replicate many
human physiological behaviors to give
clinicians the lifelike experience. Each
simulator runs around 80-85k depending
on the accessories you purchase. These need to be trusted to a technician with tech knowledge and understanding of their capabilities.
Part of the Team
Biomedical Engineering Technologist have been working with clinical staff but never really being seen as part of the clinical team. In order to learn to work together, these professions need to train together. At SPC- BMET, our students not only work in the nursing and
Health Professions building, but we
also train together. Teaching these
professionals during their education
and training what the other knows,
helps them make better decisions in
case studies, practical scenarios, and
real life situations.
Our training is unlike any other. If you come to this program, do not expect to be sitting in a classroom with traditional lecture and lab. We make it as real as possible.
1101
Human Patient Simulation is
becoming the standard at colleges,
universities, health science center,
R&D, and clinical training for all levels of medical professionals; from Medical Assistants to Surgical Residents. HPS’s can assist practitioners to perform procedures such as intubation, periocardiocentesis, as well as improving clinical judgement by providing a more realistic scenario. The emergence of this
new healthcare technology teaching tool
requires moderate to high level technical
training depending on the fidelity
of the human patient simulator.
Biomedical Engineering technicians
and clinical engineers are
professionals with the right
combination of
interdisciplinary skills to
tackle such an emerging healthcare
technology. The courses outlined will in
provide the basics of theory and hands
on maintenance, programming, and minor repair of human patient simulators that are applicable to many different human patient simulator manufacturers.
