biomedical engineering, brach of study, bachelor study, masters study

Biomedical engineering, clinical engineering and medical informatics represent interdisciplinary branches which are very progressive and acknowledged and which intervene into many spheres. Changes both concerning the overall higher education system in Czech Republic and from changes in legislation resulting from the Czech Republic's entrance into the EU influenced the formation of a new type of biomedical study field. This law defines the term lifelong learning in healthcare and exchanged activities, which are perceived as lifelong education. It also modified the process of obtaining certification to work without a supervisor, which until then supervision was a requirement for this field of work. Nowadays the study field biomedical engineering is educated as study field in bachelor and master study at VŠB - Technical university of Ostrava, Faculty of electrical engineering and computer science with cooperation of Medico-Social faculty of the University of Ostrava teaching medico-social courses.
