In July 2021, the Japan Association for Clinical Engineers (JACE) became affiliated with JCM, As part of this collaboration, all members of the JACE enjoy a discount on the article processing charge (APC) when submitting articles to the journal.
JACE was founded as a voluntary organization in February 1990. It has, through its role as an association for professionals specializing in the operation, maintenance, and inspection of life-support systems directly linked to human life, strived constantly to create a system in which patients can receive highly advanced engineering-based medical care safely with the effective use of limited medical resources. In a bid to accomplish its ocial mission, expand the duties, and raise the status of clinical engineers, it was approved as a public-interest corporation by the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare (MHLW) on March 14, 2002.
The objective of this association is to contribute to the promotion and development of the nation’s medical care and welfare through the raising of professional ethics of clinical engineers, enhancement of their professional knowledge and skills, and improvement of reliability of equipment-based medical care and welfare, including life-support systems.
To aim at the global standard, JACE established “World Association for Clinical Engineers” or WACE (tentative name) and organized its first convention in Japan. For more information, please see: https://www.ja-ces.or.jp/.
