2010 Biomedical/CE Appreciation Week Dates Announced

Online Clearinghouse for Biomeds Developed

Where can you find Joint Commission guidance, career advice, job descriptions, or samples of equipment management logs and workspace cleanliness standards? In the past, you’d have to search through multiple websites to find all the information that you want. So AAMI’s Technology Management Council (TMC) has created an online, one-stop shop for medical technology professionals. The new TMC Connect section of the AAMI website is a portal for all things biomed.
