Biomedical Equipment Technology

North Seattle College ETPL
North Seattle College’s Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in Biomedical Equipment Technology provides a strong foundation in electronics and the specialized training needed to install, calibrate, repair and maintain sophisticated patient monitoring and diagnostic equipment. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects demand for these jobs to grow faster than the average (for all occupations combined) from 2019 to 2029 due to higher demand for medical services and greater complexity of equipment.
