Biomedical Engineering Technology, associate degree option

Portland Community College

A patient lies on a hospital bed after a heart attack, waiting for hospital personnel to administer a defibrillator. A biomedical technician makes sure they do. As a valued member of any hospital or healthcare organization, biomedical technicians make sure medical technology is properly maintained and repaired to ensure every patient receives the best treatment possible. Doctors and nurses aren’t the only hospital personnel who help save people’s lives. Graduates could also work in the medical equipment manufacturing field.
