A Career in Clinical Measurement

A career in the healthcare sciences is both a challenging and rewarding experience.  Technologists work in the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of disease.  They are also involved in research, patient education and public awareness of related health issues.  With the technology available today, technologists can make a real difference in the lives of patients.  You will need to have an interest in science and technology and enjoy working with people in many different circumstances.

There are five disciplines of clinical measurement; Cardiology, GI Function, Neurophysiology, Respiratory and Vascular.

To work in the area of Clinical Measurement Science your career path begins by taking the 4-year Bsc Hons Clinical Measurement Science degree, offered by the Dublin Institute of Technology in Kevin Street.  This four year degree course includes three 8 week clinical placements each in a different discipline.  This gives students the opportunity to see which of the disciplines they enjoy.  In fourth year the student is required to choose one specialist discipline in which they have a further 12 week placement and complete their dissertation in this discipline.

When qualified you will find opportunities to further your career as you become involved in research and study towards higher qualifications.
