BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
Although the field of biomedical engineering is
still small here in Bolivia. There is a great
perception about this in the future. It is assured
that we will be among the most promising
professionals of these times.

In Bolivia the development of this

discipline has not had the same
characteristics as in developed
countries. Firstly, there is an urgent
need to provide maintenance and
service to the medical
instrumentation installed in the
country, which is generally older than
10 years.
• TISSUE AND BIOMATERIALS • MEDICAL SIGNS AND IMAGES
ENGINEERING (ULTRASOUND, X-RAYS)
WE CAN MENTION THE FOUR
AXES OF WORK THAT SUMMARIZE
THE POTENTIAL OF THE CAREER:

• CLINICAL ENGINEERING • BIOMECHATRONICS AND

REHABILITATION
ETHICAL When is Ethics applied to
Engineering studied?

CONSIDERATIONS In the specialties related to the

design of equipment for medical
applications it is possible to say,
without fear of error, that its study is
not established and the initiative,
good efforts and experience of the
professors are trusted so that, to
some extent, touch the topic.

We have to prevent the desire for

professional recognition from
overcoming intellectual honesty or
humility, always seeking the best for
human beings.
