EBME Forums Forums Management Training Has it gone in?

Hi Chaps,

It occurs to me that having spent numerous years servicing & repairing critical medical devices, no one has ever formally asked me or checked if I know what I am doing!

Obviously interviews are necessary in order to get a job and qualifications applicable to the field support an individual’s knowledge but, in the ever developing nature of our work how can we be sure we are up to speed with current tech and that trainees are receiving adequate & accurate support/information?

I'd like to hear any opinions/ideas on how one could 'measure' (Qualitatively) the results of training an individual/department may have received, be it from external training or by spending a period of time 'shadowing' a more experience tech.

Your comments are appreciated.

Incidentally, I do know what I’m doing (at least that’s my opinion!)

Thanks.
