Questions of biomedical engineering in medical education

Abstract

Over the past two decades biomedical engineering has become accepted as an important field of interdisciplinary study and research. It integrates the physical, chemical, mathematical, and computational sciences with engineering principles in order to study biology, medicine and behavior. Applications for medicine allowed laying the foundation for a trend of artificial organs and systems. Under artificial organs we understand any machine, device, or other material that is used to replace the functions of a faulty or missing organ or other part of the human body. It is advisable to teach the basics of these technologies in higher medical institutions for the timely preparation of future doctors. Most of these devices are microprocessor-based, so they should be studied within the framework of the discipline "Medical Informatics"
