Biomedical instrumentation (sometimes known as bioinstrumentation) training programs and courses cover the repair, maintenance and operation of medical electronic equipment. While stand-alone programs in this field are not common, biomedical instrumentation can also be studied within other related programs.
Biomedical engineers typically do the following: 1  Design equipment and devices, such as artificial internal organs, replacements for body parts, and machines for diagnosing medical problems. 2  Install, adjust, maintain, repair, or provide technical support for biomedical equipment.
