New continuing education programs for hospital and clinical engineering.
This paper describes the new continuing education efforts that are being made to offer degrees more in tune with the career path for clinical engineering or for engineers working at different hospitals. Following an analysis of the issues regarding the field of hospital engineering in Mexico, and the type pf professionals that provide this service, we have implemented a series of programs in order to provide a full spectrum of educational opportunities in biomedical engineering. Since the conventional research-oriented graduate program is doing well, and the number of faculty that is interested in clinical engineering is growing, we now offer professional development track for engineers working inside the hospital environment.
