Biomedical Equipment Technology<br />
First-rate equipment, experienced staff <strong>and</strong> an advisory board that<br />
comprises top industry names are just a few of the benefits available<br />
at TSTC. Biomedical equipment technicians work on equipment<br />
such as defibrillators, heart monitors, medical imaging equipment<br />
(X-rays, CAT scanners <strong>and</strong> ultrasound equipment), voice-controlled<br />
operating tables <strong>and</strong> electric wheelchairs, so the industry needs<br />
sharp, professional technicians that can inspect, calibrate, maintain,<br />
troubleshoot <strong>and</strong> repair this critical medical equipment. <strong>Student</strong>s<br />
in the program gain h<strong>and</strong>s-on experience working with everything<br />
from the simplest suction pump to the most sophisticated laboratory<br />
equipment, cardiac monitors, <strong>and</strong> X-ray <strong>and</strong> ultrasound equipment.<br />
Biomedical Equipment Technology is available at the Harlingen <strong>and</strong><br />
Waco campuses.<br />
