Abstract :
Clinical engineering is an interdisciplinary science. It has several aspects in its interfacing practices among healthcare delivery system that include (1) specific engineering supports to clinical specialties, (2) hospital system engineering programs, (3) managerial integration based on biomedical engineering practices, (4) safety and performance assessment of medical devices, and (5) compliance with specific regulations and standards. Each aspect requires highly integrated interdisciplinary principles to fulfill its professionalism. These are different professions based on academic biomedical engineering principles and healthcare principles. This clinical engineering practical training program is designed to fulfill the requirement of human resources for the advanced biomedical engineering applied and practised in hospital environments
