Abstract

As hospitals acquire a greater variety of laser systems and related instrumentation, many institutions are realizing the benefits of having an in-house biomedical laser specialist. The responsibilities of this specialized position may include: assisting laser procedures and research projects, operating and maintaining laser instrumentation, acting as medical laser safety officer, developing training and education programs, and directing hospital laser programs. This paper will describe the training and education profile of a biomedical laser/electro-optic specialist. The benefit of their expertise to a hospital laser program will be discussed as it relates to: increased laser utilization, greater laser safety awareness, lower maintenance costs, and research and educational projects.
