Hello, I am a BMET at an east coast non-profit hospital in the US. Our shop/office is an in-house program, meaning we are hospital owned, not third party. My responsibilities mainly reside in medical imaging, but also anything and everything else. I also run my own business taking care of a facility and some small imaging clinics. I've been in this business for ten years, but have seen all sides being in-house and then being a third party as well. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

If you could send me your email address I could email you all the questions I have and you could answer them and email them back to me that would be great. I appreciate your time and help. Thank you so much. After I have the paper complete I would be happy to send you a copy. Thanks again.

Hi Damurrell,

I'm working as a BMET with the Medical Research Council (UK) base in The Gambia. Having worked for about four years, i been trained on various technologies. My department maintains equipment use for both research labs and clinical lab ranging from 9 color flow cytometers to clinical analysers. I was also opportuned to obtain factory training on computed radiography (X-Ray), automated clinical chemistry analyser, molecular device (spectroflourometer and spectrophotometer), safety cabinet, bone densitometer.

I will be grateful if you can also send me your questions for answers. As an engineer, i believe in is solidarity/sharing. To me, it's one of the noble professions we have.

regards
