At GE HealthCare, technical service training embraces a modern, skills-based learning strategy which resonates with our newer workforce, helps to increase the effectiveness of training, occurs in the flow of work (immediately deployable), and is consistently transportable across modalities. The GE HealthCare Institute in Wisconsin, one of four GE HealthCare global training centers, leverages this approach to deliver technical training to more than 8,500 students annually. Onsite courses and staged clinical settings offer real-world clinical environments – including emergency and surgical room settings – to provide students with hands-on opportunities to learn on more than $125 million of imaging, ultrasound and patient care equipment. They also leverage more than 700 virtual experiences – more than 150 virtual machines, 400 virtual hands-on labs and 150 augmented reality experiences to practice these skills. Students include GE HealthCare field engineers, biomedical engineers, in-house engineers and customers from more than 50 countries. Additionally, the leadership training programs provide further opportunities for professional development.
