The Department of Biomedical Engineering, under the generous patronage of the Dean of the College of Engineering, Prof. Dr. Eyad Murad Takhakh, and under the supervision of the Head of the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Prof. Dr. Anas Qusay Hashem, and in the presence of the Head of the Department of Electronic and Communications Engineering, Asst. Prof. Dr. Mohammed Sabri Salem, and the Department Rapporteur, and in cooperation with Al-Hadaf Foundation, held a training workshop about the electrocardiogram (ECG) device entitled:

“Basics of the Electrocardiogram Device from Theory to Skill: Step by Step”

The workshop was attended by a large group of students and graduates.

This training workshop comes as a result of the importance of the ECG device as one of the most important diagnostic medical devices relied upon in evaluating heart functions and diagnosing cardiac disorders. The workshop aims to link the theoretical side with the practical side and to provide students and graduates with the knowledge and skills necessary to handle this device, which is considered one of the essential devices in hospitals and health centers.

The workshop aimed to:

1. Introduce participants to the working principles of the ECG device and the physiological basis of its signals.

2. Train students and graduates on how to use the device correctly and safely.

3. Enhance skills in reading and analyzing ECGs and understanding their clinical applications.

4. Qualify participants to acquire practical experience that enables them to work in the health and laboratory sector.

5. Strengthen the link between the academic and practical aspects to serve the needs of the labor market.

The recommendations of the training workshop were as follows:

1. Continue holding complementary practical training workshops in the field of other medical devices.

2. Equip the department’s laboratories with the latest devices to ensure advanced educational outcomes.

3. Encourage students to engage in scientific research and practical applications in the field of biomedical engineering.

4. Strengthen cooperation between the university and various institutions for the exchange of expertise and knowledge.

5. Open communication channels with graduates to develop their skills in line with the requirements of the labor market.
