Abstract
Canonical and systematic quality-oriented education of medical metrology for undergraduate students has not been started in colleges and universities. The standardized training and professional cultivation system are also deficient for most medical metrological employees at present. In this study, special funds were invested to develop the teaching laboratory based on the establishment standards of national medical metrology stations. Experienced experts were also invited for the argumentation of curriculum construction and optimization of medical metrology. As a result, two undergraduate courses of medical metrology for the students majoring in Biomedical Engineering (BME) were developed for the first time based on the talent cultivation mode “basic knowledge + practical ability”. An internationally-advanced teaching laboratory for medical metrology was established, and the series textbooks were compiled and published. It is of vital significance to strengthen the curriculum construction of medical metrology for undergraduate students of BME, which may provide beneficial reference for further medical metrological talent cultivation.
Highlights
High-tech medical equipment has been emerging continuously with the rapid growth of international technology
With the goal of promoting the medical metrological capability of students majoring in Biomedical Engineering (BME) in colleges and universities, the curriculum was systematically constructed in course provision, content designing, teaching model and evaluation methods based on the competency certification standards for medical metrologists, aiming at building a high-standard and normalized curriculum system of medical metrology with the “basic knowledge + practical ability” mode
Students passes the examination were awarded uniformed certifications of medical metrological verification officer authorized by the National Medical Metrology Center, which made it possible for students to be employed after graduation with the enhanced competency and qualification
Summary
High-tech medical equipment has been emerging continuously with the rapid growth of international technology. As people enjoys the benefits of technological development and medicine improvement, the medical negligence and dispute have been increasingly prominent induced by adverse events related to medical devices [1], [2] It is of vital importance in the world medical health field to guarantee the reliable performance of armamentarium, decrease the clinical risks and ensure medical quality safety. The present nonstandard and unprofessional cultivation system of the medical metrological talents has resulted in the disorder of learning resources, the lack of systematical standardized training and the scarcity of high-level professionals, which may induce poor adaptability to the rapid development of science and technology and medical equipment [4]. The canonical and systematic quality-oriented education of medical metrological capability at colleges and universities (especially the undergraduate curricula construction) has been at flaw condition, which needs to be urgently strengthened [5], [6]
