Clinical Engineering plays a key role in radiology and diagnostic imaging services in order to optimize management, reduce high maintenance costs and increase the useful life of equipment.
The clinical engineer is a specialist, with training in electrical engineering or mechanical engineering, who is dedicated to the issue of equipment maintenance. He controls periodic maintenance, checks filters, for example, ultrasound exams, takes care of ultrasound equipment, resonance coils, cleaning, checks that cleaning is being done correctly.
To increase qualification in the sector, the Brazilian Association of Diagnostic Imaging Clinics (ABCDI) has just launched a Clinical Engineering course with free places for associates. Intended for supervisors and engineers responsible for maintenance contracts for clinics and services, the course addresses, in a practical and objective way, relevant day-to-day topics, with a focus on optimizing equipment management.
Classes are 100% online, lasting approximately 2 hours. Participants receive a certificate. The content is presented by experts with extensive experience in the market and linked to partner companies. It brings several recommendations to increase the useful life of equipment, in addition to possible future tools and initial notions of the quality/accreditation sector. Registration is open. Therefore, enjoy it right now!
