Exploring the Nurse Engineer: A Growing Interdisciplinary Profession You Didn’t Know About

This lecture explores the growing interdisciplinary profession of nurse engineers and collaboration of the two fields to improve patient outcomes through innovation and medical technology design.

 Although you will not find a job requisition and a salary by typing in the words "nurse engineer", there are many biomedical technology companies and hospitals that are employing nurses and providers for their knowledge and experience in the design process for medical technology and devices. This need has been studied and written about in medical and technology-related journals for many years and recently some nursing schools have developed dual degree programs for BSN/BME (Biomedical Engineers) to meet the demand due to the increasing advances and use of medical technology.

This lecture aims to educate nurses on this trend and its relevance in their work with patients, the promotion of collaboration with engineers and to give nurses career ideas and resources to become a part of the nurse engineer track.
