| I
became a Certified Clinical Engineer after working in a hospital and joining
ECRI Institute. I wanted to show my
clinical engineering colleagues that I value and respect our profession and to
clearly communicate my commitment to clinical engineering.
We
work in a medical community where almost all medical professionals are
certified in their areas. Having the
certification makes us part of the “community of the certified” and shows the
medical staff that we too believe in our profession and in continuing
education. It also helps us to
communicate with each other. When we see
the “CCE” we know that person is committed to clinical engineering and has
knowledge and competence in the field, regardless of what they may have studied
in school.
