A training of engineers closer to the clinical field It is key to improving the biomedical work of the future. For this reason, the ’40 Hospital Engineering Seminar’ has dedicated one of its closing tables of the ‘great event for engineers’ to exposing the training challenges of engineers, if we talk about the biomedical and hospital field.
José Alberto Fernández Villar, head of the Pulmonology Service at the Álvaro Cunqueiro Hospital, began his speech by explaining that “although throughout his professional life he has given many talks, he had never given any framed in Hospital Engineering.” In this way, the pulmonologist has celebrated being given importance to the communion between technology and medicine.
Focused on this medical perspective, the specialist commented that the evolution of technologies is going so fast that “clinicians are not able to follow the advances.” “We do not have the training or the time to train them properly,” he has assured and argued that In the last 20 years the growth has been exponential. “There are thousands of applications, Artificial Intelligence… we are not able to keep up,” he said.

On the other hand, he has spoken about the need for doctors to better understand the training that engineers receive. “There is a tremendous separation, and this has to change so that in direct clinical processes there may be engineers“, he commented. To achieve this objective, he assured that what is needed is “to make a change that helps orient training towards biomedical matters.”
The pulmonologist has used a report from Medical Writing to launch a powerful idea to the public: the creation of a Clinical Engineering MIR. “Maybe it’s time to bring the technical engineer closer to the patientsand it can be done through training,” he assured. In this way, he ended his intervention by making a request: that doctors and engineers agree to go down the same path.
Academic and work vision
The table included the interventions of Juan Enrique Pardo Froján, director of the School of Industrial Engineering of the University of Vigo and José Manuel Blanco, account Executive North Zone Siemens Healthineers. Each one, for their part, has spoken of the training challenges of biomedical engineers on two levels: academic and work.
The final touch was provided by Celia Martín Cubillo, a biomedical engineer who currently works at the La Paz University Hospital in Madrid. The professional has explained what her role is in the center and how this is necessary. engineer-medical approach to facilitate your work. “From acquiring to installing and maintaining new medical devices, our work also involves being able to manage computer systems and implement technological projects, always very close to Medicine,” the biomedical engineer has developed.

In this way, it has reached four main conclusions that define that relationship between both professions. The first is that The role of the clinical engineer “is to be the interface between Medicine and Technology”. The second is that it is important that these engineers train in hospitals “to be able to know the flows.” Thirdly, he pointed out the need for multidisciplinary teams and, to conclude, he left a concise idea: “Biomedical engineers, to work, have to be inside hospitals.” =”600″ height=”240″ layout=”responsive” alt=”AMP”>
