Biomedical Technician Training
Because advanced technology professionals frequently interact with team members, other departments, and clients, advanced technology programs enhance their science and mathematics curricula with courses in writing and public speaking. In this video, you will see that, while strong mathematics and technical skills are highly prized in aspiring technicians, so too are communication skills. Click on the left to watch the video.
After watching the video, describe two on-the-job scenarios that demonstrate the importance of strong communication skills for biomedical repair technicians.
