Biomedical Engineer Business Cards for BME and Clinical Engineering Practice

Biomedical engineers (BMEs) apply the principles of engineering, biology, and medicine to solve healthcare problems — designing and developing medical devices and diagnostic equipment, building prosthetics, implants, and wearable health technology, creating imaging systems and biosensors, improving clinical workflows through health informatics, and managing medical technology in hospital clinical engineering departments. Biomedical engineering is one of the most rapidly growing engineering disciplines, sitting at the convergence of engineering and clinical medicine.

What Biomedical Engineer Cards Include

Your Credentials and Education

• BME (Biomedical Engineer) — or "Biomedical Engineer, [Company / Hospital]"
• BS, MS, or PhD in Biomedical Engineering — academic degree level is relevant
• PE (Professional Engineer) — engineering licensure; though less common in BME than civil/mechanical, some BMEs are PE licensed, particularly those in regulatory and medical device certification
• CCE (Certified Clinical Engineer) — ACCE (American College of Clinical Engineering) certification; the primary credential for clinical engineers (biomedical engineers working in healthcare facilities)
• CBET (Certified Biomedical Equipment Technician) — AAMI CBET; for biomedical equipment technicians and clinical engineers
• CRA (Certified Radiology Administrator) — AHRA; for imaging/radiology technology management
• AIIMS member (Association of Imaging Technology and Medical Standards)
• AAMI member (Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation) — the primary professional organization for medical device and clinical engineering
• IEEE EMBS member (Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society) — the technical society for biomedical engineering within IEEE

Regulatory credentials:

• RAC (Regulatory Affairs Certification) — RAPS; for BMEs in medical device regulatory affairs
• CQE (Certified Quality Engineer) — ASQ; for quality engineering in medical devices
• CMSP (Certified Maintenance and Support Professional)
