Position Statement (not to exceed 200 words)
I believe that clinical engineers can provide answers to the major questions related to
affordable healthcare and patient safety worldwide. At the moment, full potential of clinical
engineers is not being utilized. We, as clinical engineers, are not fully represented at
decision making either at clinical or financial platforms. This impacts the financial rewards in
terms of salaries compared to other clinical roles. Side by side, clinical engineering career
path also needs serious attention to create a fair standard worldwide.
I believe I can help taking clinical engineering career to next level through the help and
support of IFMBE and its members. I hope I will be given a chance to prove my potential and
achieve my ambitions through working in the IFMBE team.
I agree to have my name placed in nomination for the above position, and if elected, to
serve for the specified term.
