About Medical Technology
Clinical examination is now vital for modern scientific healthcare by virtue of the continued efforts to improve clinical examination accuracy and reliability by the professionals in medical technology and healthcare.
Clinical examination helps diagnose diseases in practice as in cases below:
- Blood/urine data collection and analyses to investigate possible changes in the human body
- Finding and elaborating cell/tissue characteristics and making microscopic specimens for diagnoses and post-surgery examinations
- Recording electrical body signals with precision which may change minute by minute on electrocardiograms or electroencephalogram
- Visualizing the shape of organ and visceral pathology using ultrasound devices
- Providing effective data for the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases generated by analysing the types and biological characteristics of pathogenic microorganisms
- Conducting necessary clinical examinations to make the advanced medical technologies such as gene therapy and organ transplants more acceptable and readily available to people
Our undergraduate students acquire not only the specialized knowledge and skills of clinical examination, but also the basic knowledge and technologies required of medical technology specialists who lead various areas of medical technology including reproductive medicine (e.g. IVF – in vitro fertilization), environmental survey of air pollution and water quality and health food quality control.
Upon graduation, students with the educational requirement for eligibility to sit for the national clinical laboratory technologist examination will play leading roles in healthcare or health sciences fields. Meanwhile, many students also choose to continue to postgraduate programs to qualify as highly specialized professionals (e.g. ultrasonographers) or become researchers/PEs (professional engineers) who contribute to academic development.
