(Clinical engineering, known as) Clinical engineering, also known as medical and hospital systems engineering, is a branch of biomedical engineering, whose main professional responsibility is to take care of the management of medical equipment in hospitals. Clinical engineers typically maintain medical equipment inventories, direct the work of medical equipment technicians, ensure the safety of medical equipment (e.g., hospital radiation safety operations) and the handling of calibration issues, and act as medical equipment consultants to hospitals.
