Career Brochure

AAMI has created a brochure to encourage more students to consider the biomedical field as a career option.
The attractive, four-color brochure is designed to help healthcare facilities, schools, biomedical societies, manufacturers, and recruiters attract more biomeds to the field; and is available to all AAMI members who request complimentary copies.
The brochure was created in response to a priority identified by AAMI’s Technology Management Council (TMC) to increase recognition of the field and to help employers who are facing labor shortages.
This “is an excellent tool for recruiting prospective students/professionals into the biomedical field,” says Steven J. Yelton, PE, a TMC member and program chair of the Information and Engineering Technologies Divisions at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. “I also feel that this is an excellent way to educate other medical professionals on the job functions of the biomedical technician.”
The four-page brochure —entitled “The Career Opportunity of a Lifetime . . . Servicing Technology that Saves Lives” — provides details about the job functions of biomedical equipment technicians (BMETs), the desired skills and training, salary ranges and other benefits, and the long-term career outlook for BMETs. The brochure also includes several testimonials from working BMETs and encourages interested parties to contact AAMI for more information about educational programs, job opportunities, and other resources,
