What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populatedfrom NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: proficient (Level 3)(based on Post-Baccalaureate Certificate)

Complex medical devices such as ventilators, imaging equipment, and surgical lasers — test, calibrate, and repair autonomously using advanced measurement instruments and manufacturers' technical manuals.
Non-routine equipment failures — diagnose independently through systematic troubleshooting, applying inductive and deductive reasoning across multiple device categories in acute-care environments.
Preventive maintenance programs — manage and execute for an entire equipment portfolio, adapting schedules based on manufacturer recommendations and usage data from inventory management software.
Medical software and operating system interfaces — evaluate and configure on networked medical devices to ensure proper functionality and cybersecurity compliance in a hospital setting.
Structural and electrical hazard assessments — perform comprehensive evaluations of medical equipment use environments, ensuring full compliance with NFPA, OSHA, and Joint Commission safety standards.
Defective assemblies including motors, drive systems, and power supplies — overhaul or reconstruct using precision hand tools and electronic diagnostic equipment in a fully equipped biomedical workshop.
Serviceability classifications for excess or in-use equipment — determine authoritatively, preparing disposition reports and recommendations in accordance with regulatory and accreditation requirements.
Equipment installation projects for high-acuity units — lead end-to-end, coordinating with vendors, clinical engineers, and facilities staff to meet safety and operational timelines.
Critical thinking and quality control analysis — apply to identify systemic equipment failure patterns, documenting findings and initiating corrective action plans within the department.
Junior technicians and apprentices — guide on troubleshooting methodologies and documentation practices during complex repair assignments in a healthcare repair environment.
