Abstract
High evolution rates of instrumentation used in clinical cardiology departments make difficult demands on personnel continuing education, both for physicians and for nurses. New instruments, providing advanced and locally-upgradable performances, call for specific skills to be acquired via appropriate training. More wide-spectrum instrumentation, typically based on personal computers and DBMS oriented, may call for different and deeper educational approaches as much as they allow the local clinical user to design the set of performances he really needs and may effectively use. We describe experiences we had in our department. In both specific training and wide-spectrum deeper education, including DBMS, we took full advantage of the full-time presence of young graduates in biomedical engineering and computer science.
