A survey of CE/BMET attitudes.
This article presents the results of a survey designed to assess current Biomedical/Clinical Engineering attitudes. Issues discussed include separating biomedical/clinical services from engineering/maintenance services; certification; factors affecting salary levels; and whether technicians should use the "engineer" title. The opinions presented are meant to stimulate discussion among individual BMETs and CEs, and within clinical engineering departments.
