Modular Training South East Asia (SEA)

  

A short course Modular Biomedical Engineering Training program was developed for South East Asia in collaboration with ECRI. The program modules are 5 days duration each. There are six biomedical equipment modules and two laboratory equipment modules run over the course of a year.

These intensive modular training courses are run jointly by FBE and ECRI in Malaysia. Upon completion of the module, participants do a short examination and are awarded a certificate. Upon successful completion of all six training modules a certificate of achievement will be awarded by ECRI and FBE.
