The Biomedical X-Ray Service Technician advanced technical certificate would build upon skills gained in the Biomedical Electronics Technology AAS. To move into biomed specializations, which provide greater economic rewards, additional training is needed. Opportunities in the installation, maintenance and repair of imaging equipment are growing. This is a unique program offered in the WTCS system, and is a valuable opportunity compared to the limited private options available. Many biomed technicians would be able to advance into imaging specializations with the training we are recommending in the Biomedical X-Ray Service Technician Advanced Technical Certificate. This certificate will cover the competencies required to service X-Ray equipment and provide foundational training on digital radiography services. These competencies include safety requirements for servicing X-Ray imaging equipment, how to read an X-Ray and diagnose root cause for poor image quality, and measuring the X-Ray tube performance. By engaging with imaging services industry experts, we will be able to develop a certificate that will allow Biomeds the opportunity to gain the skills and knowledge to move into imaging specializations. This program would also provide the skills necessary for other electro-mechanical technicians who may need to maintain X-Ray equipment in other environments such as airports, dentist offices, and welding inspection services.
