Description
As the biomedical engineering field expands throughout the world, clinical engineers play an evermore-important role as translators between
the medical, engineering, and business professions. They influence procedure and policy at research facilities, universities, as well
as private and government agencies including the Food and Drug Administration and the World Health Organization. The profession of clinical
engineering continues to seek its place amidst the myriad of professionals that comprise the health care field.
The Clinical Engineering
