Nope, engineer first clinical technologist second, thats the entry route for me into this world.
Maybe another analysis of the main driver of why clinical technologists need to be registered and the answer probably lies with the arguement of the potential to harm patients/ entering into the realms of patient confidentiality/ethics and no doubt litigation. It is a bit like looking into the aircraft world where flight safety is paramount - is this not the same arguement when dealing with patients? There are criteria and integrity issues when dealing with aircraft and in my opinion this is no different to maintaining the safety of patients - may be this area needs more refining and where credibility can be enhanced?
Cheers
