[BIC-announce] Seminar in Biomedical Engineering - Wednesday October 17th - 1 pm- Room 333

[Christophe Grova]

Dear all, 

Our  next Biomedical Engineering Dpt seminar is this coming wedneday 

Wednesday - October 17th,  at 1 pm 


Location: Room  333 Lyman Duff Building (Biomedical Engineering Dpt, 3775 
University Street).

This will be a special seminar, introducing a new Profession : "Technical Physician". This training is equally shared between medical and engineering, with the view to form people who are technically savvy but who will also perform medical acts. We know that the Netherlands is often at the forefront of societal changes. So I really encourage both MD and engineers to attend this seminar of great  interest to the BME community. 


Speaker: Brian Mouthaan, BSc, Master student Technical Medicine Track Medical Signaling,  University of Twente, The Netherlands

Title : Technical Physician, a new professional arriving at the patient’s bedside

Abstract:
Since 2003 University of Twente has offered Technical Medicine: a new academic discipline aimed at educating professionals who can improve patient care by applying medical technology.  Technology has become of increasing importance in the clinical practice. Therefore it is more required that these new technologies are adequately utilized. Technical Medicine aims to fill the growing gap between classical medicine and complex technology. After 6 years of education the Technical Physician will be a new academic professional who has the knowledge, skills and problem solving mind-set to design and safely apply improved diagnostics and therapeutics for the benefit of patients.
