Clinical engineering

6. What do Biomedical Engineers do?
Biomedical engineering is an extremely broad field with many opportunities for specialization.
Tissue and stem cell engineers are working towards artificial recreation of human organs, aiding in transplants and helping millions around the world live better lives.

7. Continued..
Experts in medical devices develop new implantable and external devices such as pacemakers, coronary stents, orthopaedic implants, prosthetics, dental products, and ambulatory devices.
Clinical engineers work to ensure that medical equipment is safe and reliable for use in clinical settings.

8. Treatment Doctor diagnoses and treat patient diseases.
Biomedical Scientist analyses the blood from a patient so that the doctor knows how to diagnose and treat.
Biomedical Engineer design the equipment used to analyze the blood.

9. Heart Transplant
