Abstract

During recent years the country of Saudi Arabia has witnessed a proliferation of clinics, medical centers and hospitals all equipped with up to date high technology medical instrumentation. This in turn needs qualified personnel capable of installing, operating and maintaining these medical instruments. To qualify such qualified technicians, a program of biomedical instrumentation technology is needed to be found. In this paper the new proposed program of biomedical instrumentation technology in technology colleges is presented.
