Master of Applied Science [M.ASc] [Engineering in Healthcare Technology] From School of Higher Technology, University of Quebec

• The program trains specialists who can design methods, equipment and systems in health care technologies, integrate medical technology systems and provide appropriate technical support to companies and institutions operating in the areas of development, maintenance and marketing, and evaluate technologies.
• To achieve this, the student acquires advanced knowledge in the engineering of health care technologies, human systems and technical assists.
• The student also acquires the skills and abilities necessary to determine the technology needs of an organization in the health care milieu (private company, laboratory, hospital, government or parapublic agency).
• He or she learns to define, plan and bring to completion a project to implement existing technologies, develop new ones or conduct applied research in the application domains of health care engineering, in a sector dominated by ever more complex technologies.
