Healthcare Technology Management:

Changing the name of the field to improve awareness

Objective:Many engineering technology programs throughout the country train graduates who are responsible for managing the selection, maintenance, and safe use of medical equipment. Employed in every hospital in the country, these highly trained technicians fall under widely varying job titles. In addition, academic program titles vary tremendously. The main goal is to identify a discipline name that could be easily understood by the public, in contrast to the current widely-varying titles including biomedical engineering technology, biomedical equipment technology, clinical engineering, and bioengineering technology (used by ABET).

Presented by:Steven J. Yelton, P.E. is the Chairman of the Electrical Engineering Technologies Department in the Center for Innovative Technologies

at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. He is in charge of programs in Biomedical Equipment and Information Systems Technology and Electronics Engineering Technology.
