Reprocessing of Medical Devices - Quebec Metiers d'avenir

TRAINING
DESCRIPTION

As part of their professional activities, medical device reprocessors (MDRPs) perform prescribed steps to reprocess medical devices (instruments, appliances, devices or other items) at risk of contamination by microorganisms, in preparation for their reuse. These people work within a regulatory framework and standards. They mainly work in the health and social services network, where there are medical device reprocessing units and satellite reprocessing units, but also in large medical clinics, such as specialized medical centers.

Duration : 1 080 Hours

IMPORTANT: Given IRCC's current mesures regarding the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), it is likely that this training will be eligible for the PGWP. This situation could change at any time depending on immigration announcements and adjustments.
