Biomedical engineering training worldwide

Trained and qualified biomedical engineering professionals are required to design, evaluate, regulate, maintain and manage the medical devices present in health systems around the world. They face numerous challenges in low-resource settings. However, there are resources available for continuous professional development. Furthermore, a survey recently carried out identified educational support in the biomedical and clinical engineering field in order to facilitate contact with biomedical and clinical engineering teaching units and associations.
