BIOMEDS HAVE TRADITIONALLY FOUND clinical laboratories intimidating places--a view justified by the large amount of biohazardous materials, technical scientific jargon, and sophisticated pieces of equipment. But just as gloves and goggles can offer physical protection, education and knowledge provide a mental armor that makes servicing the lab less daunting.
Biomeds already handle preventive and corrective maintenance for many of the smaller, less complicated pieces of laboratory equipment, but more frequently, they are assuming more responsibility for the sophisticated equipment found in the lab. This opens opportunities not only for clinical/biomedical engineering ...
