Course Information

The healthcare industry in Canada and around the world is growing rapidly. To help meet the demand, healthcare has turned to new and innovative medical technology to improve diagnosis, monitoring and treatment - in doing so health care providers have become dependent on the technology to function properly, to be available, and to be managed in a cost effective and efficient manner by qualified biomedical engineering technologists.

Your skill set includes the ability to assess current and innovative medical technology, purchase, install, calibrate, maintain and manage the life-cycle of critical medical equipment. Biomedical engineering technologists are an essential part of the health care team because they have these skills.

Durham College’s Biomedical Engineering Technology lab is fully equipped including:

  • Anesthesia equipment

  • Bedside and central monitoring

  • Biomedical equipment asset management system

  • Dialysis machines

  • Infusion pumps

  • Patient monitor information and database systems

  • Physiological measurement devices

You will work with a variety of biomedical patient simulators and test and measurement devices, in addition to the technologies found in our fully equipped medical electronics repair department.

Employers repeatedly require the functional expertise of our graduates. The program covers:

  • Analog and Digital Circuits and Microcontrollers

  • Anatomy and physiology

  • Biomedical devices and systems

  • Biomedical instrumentation

  • Physics

  • Computers and networking

  • Diagnostic imaging

  • Dialysis

  • Project-based learning of electronic circuits and  bioinstrumentation

  • Report writing

  • Risk Management and Safety Standards

  • Theory with hands-on practical experience

Pathway Courses

Qualified graduates of the Biomedical Engineering Technology (BMTY) program who are interested in pursuing the Honours Bachelor of Health Care Technology Management (BHCTM) degree can do so through the unique, streamlined pathway-to-degree program (HCTF) offered by Durham College. The pathway allows students to earn the BHCTM in just two additional years; the HCTF pathway is four semesters plus a 14-week field placement.

Qualified graduates of programs similar to an Ontario College Advanced Diploma in BMTY, students currently enrolled in another degree program or students holding a degree who wish to pursue the BHCTM as a second degree may be eligible for credit transfer.

The program of study for HCTF pathway students focuses on developing expertise in business practices, including management, policy development, marketing and sales and accounting, among others, to complement existing knowledge in biomedical technology and life sciences.
