Clinical Practice Guidelines for Effective Training

Dear Sir or Madam

Thank you for your continued support. We appreciate your cooperation in the operations of the Japan Society of Clinical Engineers and the Japan Council for Educational Facilities for Clinical Engineers.

The revision of the “Clinical Engineer Training School Designation Regulations” and “Clinical Engineer Training School Guidance Guidelines” on March 31, 2020, has led to significant changes in the curriculum for students entering in 2020. These changes may cause confusion in both clinical settings and training courses. To address these issues, the Japan Association of Clinical Engineers and the Japan Council for Clinical Engineers Educational Facilities have formulated the 2024 edition of the Clinical Practice Guidelines.

The guidelines aim to help resolve issues expected in the clinical practice of the new curriculum. We have prepared the following materials related to clinical training:

• 2024 Edition Clinical Practice Guidelines
• Material 1: Specific example of checklist of required items for implementation and required items for observation
• Material 2: Specific example of clinical training evaluation sheet
• Material 3: Specific example of documents for training facility application (training facility approval form, records regarding training facility)
• Material 4: Specific example of clinical training diary
• Material 5: How a clinical training instructor should be
• Material 6: Harassment of clinical training instructors as seen in administrative and judicial decisions
• Information 7: References

These guidelines and materials are designed to provide effective clinical training. We hope you will understand the purpose of these guidelines and utilize them for better training outcomes.

Sincerely,

Japan Society of Clinical Engineers and Japan Council for Clinical Engineer Educational Facilities
