A medical physical technology engineer must be able to improve existing and design new equipment, apparatus and instruments used in medicine, be familiar with the physical and technical principles of equipment operation, manufacturing and construction technologies, perform selection, installation, monitoring, control and testing of equipment and systems, perform radiation technology planning and monitoring, perform patient dosimetry.
In order for the student to acquire the necessary skills and competencies, a systemic approach is suitable for practice and it is organized into four stages:
1) Basic skills acquisition practice (in this practice, the student acquires basic skills in the mechanical processing of materials and the assembly of electrical/electronic circuits, the practice is planned for 1st-2nd year students, the duration of the practice is 4 weeks);
2) Clinical practice (in practice, the student acquires basic skills in the use of clinical diagnostic and therapeutic equipment and systems, the practice is intended for students of the 3rd-4th year of study, the duration of the practice is 8 weeks;
3) Research-scientific practice (in practice, the student learns basic skills, in the development of a research paper, the practice is intended for students of the 4th-5th year of study, the duration of the practice is 5 weeks). As a result of the clinical and research-scientific practice, the student develops and defends the bachelor's thesis.
4) Constructor - technological practice (the student acquires basic skills in the design of mechanical, electrical/electronic systems of medical equipment, as well as relevant technological processes and the realization of manufacturing technologies, the practice is planned for students of the 4th-5th year of study, the total duration of the practice is 8 weeks). As a result of this internship, the student develops and defends an engineering project.
