Biomedical Engineering Education in Canada, 1996

Abstract

This paper updates the information contained in a previously published paper, ¿Bioengineering Education in Canada, 1988,¿ which appeared in the Journal of Clinical Engineering (Volume 13, No. 5). It describes the current biomedical engineering and biomedical engineering technology programs available in Canada, but does not attempt to evaluate them. There are no undergraduate degree programs specifically in biomedical engineering, although three universities have created options in biomedical engineering in undergraduate programs. Also, the clinical engineering program at the University of British Columbia has been discontinued.
