Technology in Electromedicine: Medellín On Campus

The Maria Cano’s Bachelor of technology in Electromedicine’s program main objective is to improve competitivity conditions by providing our IPS (Health Service Provider Institutions) in the national health network, developing companies and medical technology manufacturers with highly qualified human resources which help them answer assertively to the transformation inside the traditional hospital’s infrastructure and the profound challenges in innovation, competence and cost reduction by doing comparative analysis between the traditional manner of planning the scientific and technologic training required for a new progress.

Professional profile

Due to the magnitude of their profession regarding our National Health System, our BTechs in Electromedicine’s knowledge and skills allow them to:

• Make context-based decisions, foresee tendencies, research for alternatives, and participate in interdisciplinary workteams.
• Develop, test and systematize new knowledge to back up decisions, update protocols and modify procedures, without jeopardizing the patient’s health nor the hardware’s quality.
• Analize, design, improve, transform and provide solutions regarding acquisition, wiring, tuning-up and operational training. They can also design and apply maintenance and preventive plans.
• Coordinate and lead hardware reposition plans whilst looking for better alternatives and technological convergences in order to optimize the Safety – Cost – benefit relationship.
• Solve technical and technological issues by using informatics tools which allow them to improve production processes.
• Coordinate and perform interdisciplinary as well as interinstitutional activities in current technology fields, organizing and managing resources for sustainable development projects whilst making well-supported decisions, taking into account its social and environmental impact.

Work profile

Thanks to their knowledge and skills, our Btechs in Electromedicine can carry out different duties, such as:
