What you'll be able to do
The story
The cardiology department at Medical City Hospital takes on a clinical engineering specialist. The track follows Mr Faisal Rahim, 58, from chest pain at triage through CCU monitoring, a cardiac arrest, temporary pacing, an IVUS-guided stent and a flutter ablation, alongside the department's Holter, pressure and resuscitation services.
“The ECG is the heart's electrical field seen from the skin; blood pressure is its mechanical output seen from an artery. Each device reads one of the two, and each reading assumes the physiology is behaving as the textbook says.”
Inside the track
The real screens: My track, a step with your mentor, a simulation, your skills map and the certificate.
The arc
Each week is one working shift: learn, see inside, do, work, think, check, reflect. Open a week to see its real steps.
The arc, week by week
Mr Rahim's admission ECG and his first blood pressure readings.

Mr Rahim's TEE and ablation, rehearsed on the bench.
You make: Cath and EP lab fault table
Mr Rahim's IVUS-guided stent, his TEE and his flutter ablation.
You make: Cath and EP lab briefing
A pseudo-VT, a counted pacing spike and a 'normal' ECG on a heart attack.
You make: Artefact response card
The longest night of Mr Rahim's admission.
You make: Failed shock incident record
Mr Rahim's path through the department, and the department's review.
You make: Capstone presentation and sign-off
Proof
A step is done when there is evidence: a simulation score, a saved work document, a passed check or a signed observation. Opening a page never ticks anything.
The certificate
It names the track and the level you completed. Your portfolio holds the work behind it.
For a cardiology department (real or Medical City's), the plan that keeps its equipment safe and ready: commissioning evidence, recurrent safety tests including defibrillation-proof inputs, electrode and cuff management, pressure line checks, alarm settings and records.
Evidence it gives: Service evidence for a cardiology department.
For a hospital's defibrillators and temporary pacing: the fleet register and standard, daily readiness checks, pad and battery management, energy and charge-time testing, the response to a failed shock, training and records.
Evidence it gives: A resuscitation equipment programme a hospital can rely on.
Design and deliver a 20-minute session on one device: signal or therapy at its source, the chain, artefacts and failure signatures, safety, with a check and per-person sign-off.
Evidence it gives: Per-person training evidence.
Three levels
A baseline check on day one places you, or you choose. The competencies are the same at every level; the support and the pressure change.
Baseline under 50%, or chosen · simulations at Foundation
Worked examples first; Foundation simulations with the coach on; extra and Hard-only cases hidden.
Baseline 50% to 74%, or chosen · simulations at Practitioner
Practitioner difficulty; the monitor chain, cuff errors, fleet commissioning, EP lab and failed-shock cases shown.
Baseline 75% and above, or chosen · simulations at Expert
Expert difficulty, every case, timed boss week.
