Interest formWhat is Clinical Engineering? Also called BioMeds or Healthcare Technology Management Professionals, Clinical engineers are responsible for the application, implementation, and servicing of medical technology to optimize healthcare delivery.
The influence of medical imaging technology in healthcare is constantly growing. Diseases are detected earlier, and treatments become more effective, significantly contributing to lowering the costs of healthcare. To help Missourians prepare for this high-demand career, the University of Missouri has partnered with healthcare and medical technology companies to create an online credentialing program that can be accessed from multiple pathways – right at home. The Clinical Service Engineering online certificate program is designed to enhance the number of qualified and trained clinical service engineers for rural Missouri. This will help more Missourians find jobs and will help our rural clinics and local healthcare providers find talented, skilled workers in their own backyards.
This online, stand-alone, Clinical Service Engineer (CSE) certificate will take 9 – 12 months to complete. The program will provide a mix of formal technical training and customer-focused training, that incorporates medical imaging technology expertise, healthcare business acumen, customer relationship management, and specific imaging equipment training.
The certificate program may be accessed by participants in two different platforms: as a for-credit, stand-alone certificate through the MU College of Engineering, or as a noncredit certificate program offered through MU Extension. The content of the certificate program is the same, high-quality content in both platforms, no matter how the participants access the certificate.
