The American College of Clinical Engineering (ACCE) was established with a special focus on promoting the profession of clinical engineering in the United States and in the international arena. With members across the globe, the ACCE is the only professional society for clinical engineers with international recognition. Clinical engineers are health-care professionals who work in hospitals, medical device industry, research and development, academic institutions, consulting, regulatory agencies, and other medical technology-based institutions. Their main focus is to apply engineering and management background to enhance patient care. With this focus in mind, clinical engineers work very closely with biomedical engineering technologists, physicians, clinicians, information technologists, risk managers, system engineers, construction engineers, procurement, and other health-care professionals. The ACCE's multidisciplinary activities engage ACCE members in national and international conferences, educational workshops, teleconferences, professional partnerships, and medical device industry initiatives, thus further fostering the profession of clinical engineering.
