Within the framework of the project aimed at education and promotion of biomedical engineering in Cambodia, the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering (FBME) of CTU continues professional training of future Cambodian biomedical engineers in 2024.
In the spring, laboratory exercises focused on the principles of medical instrumentation were conducted with 2nd and 3rd year students and their teachers. The classes were held in the Biomedical Engineering Laboratory at the Institute of Technology of Cambodia, which was created thanks to the support of the Czech Development Agency project running from 2019-2021 and implemented by FBME experts.
Another practical training took place at the campus of the University of Health Sciences, where, within the framework of this project and again with the financial support of the Czech Development Agency, the laboratory is currently undergoing renovation, where practical training in medical instrumentation is planned in the future.
The practical training focused specifically on the use and maintenance of diagnostic medical equipment such as electrocardiographs, pulse oximeters and blood pressure monitors.
In June, a two-week intensive training of Cambodian students and their teachers took place in the Czech Republic. The training took place in the laboratories of the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering of the Czech Technical University, the Centre for Medical Simulations at the 1st Medical Faculty of Charles University, the Proton Centre, Motol University Hospital and the Královské Vinohrady University Hospital. The students and lecturers also attended the three-day international professional conference YBERC 2024 for students and young scientists, where they learned more about new developments in the field of biomedical engineering.
