The aim of the Postgraduate Diploma in Advanced Medical technologies is to combine a broad knowledge of science, engineering, electronics, and information technology with specific knowledge of medical devices and emerging medical technologies. The learners will gain a deep understanding of medical devices that, combined with prior knowledge of engineering and/or science, will provide a learning environment to upskill and reskill enabling them to be effective leaders in medical device design, manufacturing, and application.

 

The learner will be introduced to how medical technology utilises knowledge of electronics, mechanics, materials and anatomy and physiology to solve problems and provide solutions for modern healthcare management. The programme will enable an understanding of the operating principles and applications of medical technology currently- and proposed to be designed and manufactured in Ireland. The program will also respond to the requirements of the medical device industry for graduates skilled in Data analysis, Quantification of Quality Assurance and Continuous improvement as well as the use of Artificial Intelligence in all aspects of healthcare.

 

This is a scientific and technical course of study and involves electrical and electronic engineering concepts and the learning of Python programming language.
