What do clinical engineers do?
Clinical engineers manage medical technology across its life cycle. They evaluate and help select new equipment, plan installations, investigate device-related incidents, lead risk management and recall response, and work with IT on networked devices, interoperability and medical device cybersecurity. Clinical engineering teams also include clinical systems engineers, device integration coordinators and IT-focused technicians, plus the supervisors and managers who lead them.
Typical qualifications
Clinical engineer roles usually call for a bachelor’s degree in biomedical, clinical or electrical engineering, or equivalent experience. IT and networking skills are increasingly important for clinical systems and cybersecurity roles. Experienced clinical engineers can pursue the Certified Clinical Engineer (CCE) credential.
