Objectives
The 3-year undergraduate professional program in Maintenance of Medical Equipment (MEM) aims to train middle managers, with a level of multidisciplinary expertise, to integrate the trades of maintenance, concrete realization, and technical supervision. These middle managers will be:
Responsible for the maintenance and installation of biomedical equipment,
They will guarantee a very high availability of the facilities and optimize the health equipment
They will lead teams, advise and assist biomedical technicians and train medical and paramedical staff.
Target Skills
At the end of the training, students will be able to:
Know how to implement a sensor signal conditioning chain in the medical field and the digital processing of information, especially on biomedical systems.
Know how to implement the medical devices used in public or private healthcare establishments and their maintenance in compliance with the standards.
Master tools of project management.
Be able to follow the technological evolution of his field of competencies.
Beyond these technical skills, students will also have acquired transversal skills in "soft skills" (communication, teamwork and English) and "business skills" (innovation, entrepreneurship, project management, Collective intelligence...) allowing them to interact effectively in their future work environments.

Training Content
Semesters S1, S2, S3, S4 and S5 are academic semesters and semester S6 is a full-time internship in a company or laboratory.
L1 consists of 14 modules, two of which are dedicated to language skills and "soft skills". This academic year is centered on the scientific fundamentals required for a well-established training in terms of technicality and processes in line with understanding the operating principles of the industrial environments and materials that students must manage.
L2 aims to consolidate all the fundamental concepts acquired. Students will, accordingly, develop a complete understanding of the hospital environment.
L3 targets a specialization in control, maintenance and management of medical equipment. These scientific and technical skills will grant mastery over the use of this equipment.
The objective of the internship is to practically put to use the knowledge and expertise acquired throughout the program. The internship will take place in a hospital in the public of private sector, a research laboratory or any relevant institution.
Teaching Staff
Students of the program benefit from a quality academic body composed of both renowned academics but also practitioners renowned for their expertise and their vision of the economic and industrial world.The academic body consists of permanent and affiliated teachers at the UM6P as well as associate professors of several Moroccan and international universities. They are highly-qualified professors and medical doctors specializing in the medical and biomedical industry.
Pedagogy and Teaching Methods: ‘Learning by In a unique approach'
University Mohammed VI Polytechnic implements an innovative teaching and research model focused on experimentation. With this in mind, the University's sites are equipped with "Living Labs" dedicated to applied research. These laboratories simulate actual work place situations as in mining facilities, experimental farms, factories, towns, etc.) open to the scientific community and students.
As part of the MEM professionalization program, students will have particularly access to hospitals in the Rhamna region, biomedical laboratories, and biomedical industries.Digital education modes are part of this professionalization sector, which includes: access to a dedicated E-learning platform, access to online resource materials such as research databases or patent databases, access to the intranet of the UM6P.
Finally, the teaching dynamics encourage active participation of students, creativity, collective work and encourage learning autonomy.
