title: Skills required for clinical engineering practice: results of a survey.
abstract: In order to provide information to individuals conducting or planning educational programs in clinical engineering, a survey of skills required for practice in this field was carried out. A total of 127 responses from university-based (44) and practicing (83) clinical engineers were received. The results were tabulated separately for these two groups. The survey form was divided into two parts: basic skills and clinical engineering skills. The responses indicated an emphasis on medical instrumentation, basic life science (physiology and anatomy) information, and organizational and quipment control skills.
