Note

Additional Information: The Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Biomedical Electronics Technology program equips students with the technical skills to install, maintain, troubleshoot, certify, and ensure the safe operation of equipment used in medical and healthcare settings. This degree focuses on understanding the operation of medical devices. Students are trained in areas like electronic circuitry, biomedical instrumentation, safety protocols, and industry-specific regulations, ensuring they are prepared to handle the complex demands of healthcare technology. The program combines classroom instruction with hands-on training, allowing students to gain practical experience with medical equipment and technologies.

Career Opportunities: Graduates of this program may find opportunities in hospitals, clinics, medical device manufacturers, research labs, and medical equipment service companies. These roles often involve working with engineers and medical professionals to ensure the safety, calibration, and functionality of critical healthcare technology. The program also prepares students for the written portion of the Certified Biomedical Equipment Technician (CBET) exam.

Transfer Opportunities: The graduate in Biomedical Electronics Technology can transfer to most universities in the country, however the following programs at Southern Illinois University offer a student benefit through a capstone transfer agreement, reducing course requirements for UCC credits and ensuring all JALC courses in this guide are transferred into the program listed below.
