Summary 

									
								

							

						

						
Physician work style reforms and resulting task shifts led to revisions in the Clinical Engineering Technician Act, adding blood purification access and life support-related equipment operation to their duties. Training schools implemented a new curriculum in 2023 (93 to 101 credits required), featuring new “Clinical Support Technology” courses (endoscopy/catheter skills), renamed courses (“Nursing” to “Team-Based Healthcare,” “Device Safety” to “Medical Safety”), and expanded clinical practicums (4 to 7 credits, including pre/post hospital training). Current focus: finalizing new course content.
