Clinical Engineering Track

The Clinical Engineering track is designed to prepare clinical engineers for leadership roles in their field, enabling them to assist hospitals with clinical technology management and regulatory challenges. This program equips working clinical engineers with essential skills to advance their careers. Graduates will be well-prepared to help hospitals effectively manage clinical technology and navigate regulatory requirements. 

In addition to enhancing your professional development skills, you will gain the valuable knowledge and expertise to:  

• Lead healthcare technology planning, acquisition, and life-cycle management for clinical settings. 
• Oversee the installation, integration, and maintenance of new medical systems, including staff training. 
• Ensure adherence to all safety standards and regulatory compliance for medical equipment and systems. 
• Investigate technology-related incidents and accidents, identifying root causes and high-risk technologies. 
• Remediate technical and procedural deficiencies using failure modes and effects analysis to enhance patient safety. 
• Evaluate and specify utility systems connecting to medical equipment, such as electrical power and medical gases. 
• Measure environmental risks in healthcare settings, including electromagnetic interference and radiation safety. 
• Design and implement secure methods to interconnect medical devices for patient data transfer to electronic medical records. 
• Understand medical device and patient information security, along with middleware and clinical information systems.   

Upon completion, each student will have earned a Master’s Degree in Engineering while maintaining their current employment in a clinical engineering setting and will be prepared to advance their career in clinical engineering. 

 All applicants are expected to have a Bachelor of Science in Engineering and be employed in the Clinical Engineering field, working within a hospital environment.
