The healthcare industry continues to see a rapid increase in the usage of advanced medical diagnostic and therapeutic equipment to provide the highest level of patient care possible. As our dependence on high-tech equipment and technical expertise required by medical professionals increases, so have the technology-related risks to patients and clinical staff.

Biomedical engineering technologist careers have evolved to help manage technology-related risks in the health-care industry through the entire lifecycle of medical devices, including specification, inspection, calibration, repair and maintenance, and technical troubleshooting.

The Biomedical Engineering Technology program will provide students with fundamental knowledge and hands-on experience with electronics, microcontroller applications, computer network systems and medical imaging systems. Students will also become familiar with medical laboratory practices, anatomy, physiology and health technology management.

The Biomedical Engineering Technology program will provide students with the skills of an electronic technologist with a specialized focus on biomedical equipment technology.

What You’ll Learn

  • Electronics.
  • Microcontroller programming.
  • Math and computer systems.
  • Biomedical instrumentation.
  • X-ray and diagnostic imaging equipment.
  • Medical laboratory instrumentation.
  • Supplementary courses in anatomy and physiology and medical equipment management complete the medical specialization.

As others have already stated, they are ghosts. There is never any assistance available and they do not take responsibility for anything past taking your money. Buildings of useless people, material lackluster and diluted to spread it out longer (costing more). this laying amongst a large list of failings i have found during my own personal experience with these people. Highly advise exhausting all other options before conceding to this Joke of a learning institution.

Nait offers little to no support with over the phone nor in person. You get accepted, pay, then follow on-line program. If there are parking pass issues - no help. If there are student accommodation issues - no help. If there are registration issues - no help. They pretty much take your money, then ignore you.
