Abstract

The curricula which produced successful clinical engineers for the 1970s and early 1980s must be significantly enhanced to ensure the continued value of this engineering professional to the hospital management team. The technical skills, biological foundations and familiarity with patient care which formerly served as the guarantee for clinical engineering success, must today be complemented by strong interpersonal skills, management expertise and financial acumen. A successful clinical engineering curriculum must simultaneously prepare the prospective clinical engineer to function as a knowledgeable engineering resource and as an effective participant on an interdisciplinary healthcare management team.
