Introduction

Medical Engineering in itself is perhaps best defined as the application of Engineering Principles to the furthering of Medicine. However all- encompassing that definition however may be, it is important to gain an understanding of the great range of fields which constititute what is, for a relatively new discipline, a broad church.

The implications of medical engineering [aka biomedical engineering] in the future are surely the greatest in any industry, and has fueled many of the greatest success stories in medicine in our time.

Medical Engineering : A community

Medical Engineering...is the application of Engineering Principles to the furthering of Medicine:MedicalEngineer.co.uk There is a long established tradition of collaboration and the sharing of crucial knowledge in the medical and scientific communities. We at Medical Engineer embrace this by providing for your use a range of communication tools, information, as well as our popular Job Site, which is totally free for both those seeking work, and those seeking employees.

Biomedical Engineers : The future

A recent initiative on this site has been the introduction of the Open Definitions Project, a project which aims to build agreed upon definitions for key terms. The next step is to start a royalty free image repository for medical and biomedical illustrations which will serve to further collaboration between clients. A reworking of this domain is scheduled for the Summer, so please do check back regularly for updates.
