Beaufort County Community College is now accepting applications for its new Biomedical Equipment Technology program, offering students a pathway into one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy through a technical healthcare career.
The program prepares students to install, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair the advanced medical equipment used in hospitals, clinics, and healthcare facilities. Students will develop practical skills in electronics, networked systems, calibration, and medical instrumentation that support critical patient care.
“Healthcare today depends on complex technology, and that technology has to work every time,” said Ben Morris, Dean of Business, Technology and Public Services. “This program gives students the skills to step into a high demand field where they play a direct role in supporting patient care, without having to follow a traditional clinical path.”
Graduates of the program will be prepared for employment in healthcare facilities, biomedical service companies, and medical equipment manufacturers. With an Associate in Applied Science degree and relevant work experience, graduates may also pursue certification as Biomedical Equipment Technicians.
The program offers multiple entry points, including a two-year degree, diploma, and certificate options, allowing students to choose the path that best fits their goals. Applications are now open.
