14. Results (175 graduates in past 20 years)Most work in CE departments in healthcare systemsSome advance to hospital administration or technology management positions elsewhere in the healthcare systemSome work for third parties managing CE and HTM activitiesSome work for medical equipment manufacturing companies - in technology support in the clinical environment, product development, human factors, manufacturing support, even sales.Three have become nurses and one an engineering professor.
