Today, medical devices have become vital in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, and the need for these devices among physicians has increased significantly compared to the past. With this development, it is crucial that these devices assist in accurate diagnosis and are used in a way that minimizes side effects during the treatment process. On the other hand, due to factors such as population growth and increased life expectancy, investments in the healthcare sector are continuously rising; this situation also brings an increasing demand for qualified technical personnel.
The Biomedical Device Technology Program at Istinye University Vocational School aims to train well-equipped biomedical technicians who can meet this demand. Throughout the program, students gain knowledge and skills in technical areas such as the design, production, installation, testing and calibration, maintenance and repair, training processes, and inventory management of medical devices. Through both theoretical courses and laboratory applications, students learn the working principles of devices and reinforce this knowledge through hands-on practice. In addition, the program is supported by compulsory internships to strengthen professional competence, aiming to ensure that graduates reach the qualifications required to be employed in public and private hospitals or in private sector companies operating in the field of health technologies.
After graduation, students have the opportunity to deepen their expertise by participating in advanced education and certification programs in specific fields. They may also continue their academic careers at a higher level by transferring to undergraduate programs such as Biomedical Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering through the Vertical Transfer Exam (DGS). In this way, they further develop their technical knowledge and gain the qualifications needed to take on more comprehensive and responsible roles in the field of health technologies.
