      History

      This Committee was created January 22, 1972 by the Medical Advisory Board to act in an advisory capacity to the Department of Medical Engineering and Physics. The Committee was originally named the Medical Engineering and Physics Advisory Committee. In November 1980 it became the Medical Engineering Committee.

      The Committee was authorized to undertake the following:

      <blockquote>“identification and review of research and development expenditures in context to the overall Departmental budget;
      definition of what constitutes electronic and other devices which fall within the scope of the Department;
      identification of electronic and other medical devices which
      i) will be serviced and maintained by the Department and which by outside firms;
      ii) may be shared by a number of departments and definition of policies which will govern such sharing;
      review of requests for developmental and research work within the Department and/or other services and ranking of such requests in order of priority. The Committee will assist in identifying real and/or potential sources of funding for requests not specifically provided for in the approved budget;
