“…Con base en lo anterior, es difícil encontrar el momento exacto en el cual surge la ingeniería biomédica en México. Algunos autores hablan del nacimiento de la ingeniería biomédica basados en la creación del Instituto de Salubridad y Enfermedades Tropicales (ISTE) en 1939 (Mendez & Leehan, 2003;Perez-Tamayo, 2004). Sin embargo, la mayoría de quienes han escrito sobre esta disciplina, coinciden en dos momentos claves para la misma:…”

Could Al-Zahrawi Be Considered a Biomedical Engineer? [Retrospectroscope]

In one?s career, it is good to look back at the predecessors in the field. Biomedical engineering history is full of hidden treasures, one of whom is Al-Zahrawi, a Muslim surgeon who had a wide reputation in Europe during the Middle Ages. Herein, besides recalling that he was a surgeon, the intent is to spotlight his talent in biomedical engineering. Important contributions in surgical instruments come up readily in a review of his work, contradicting the view some have maintained of him as a mere compiler. He was a true inventor, creating many surgical instruments that were not known in the Greco-Roman era. Quite early, he produced contributions influencing surgical procedures in Europe from the 14th to the 18th centuries. As a problem solver, he was aware of anatomical and physiological problems, and he moved through design, methods of manufacturing, and practical applications. The illustrations of such instruments in his encyclopedic work, Al-Tasrif, reflect his willingness to teach.

This paper describes the new continuing education efforts that are being made to offer degrees more in tune with the career path for clinical engineering or for engineers working at different hospitals. Following an analysis of the issues regarding the field of hospital engineering in Mexico, and the type pf professionals that provide this service, we have implemented a series of programs in order to provide a full spectrum of educational opportunities in biomedical engineering. Since the conventional research-oriented graduate program is doing well, and the number of faculty that is interested in clinical engineering is growing, we now offer professional development track for engineers working inside the hospital environment.
