Why do we need biomedical engineers in hospitals?
Biomedical engineers are critical in hospitals because they apply principles of engineering to solve problems in medicine and healthcare. Their expertise bridges the gap between engineering and biological sciences, allowing them to contribute to a wide range of activities that enhance patient care, improve safety, and advance medical technology.
