Bioengineering education in Canada, 1988.
As a companion article to the Journal of Clinical Engineering's series on Bioengineering Education in the United States, this paper describes the biomedical engineering and biomedical engineering technology programs in Canada. The purpose of the article is not to evaluate each program, but to illustrate the breadth of bioengineering and related programs available today in this country. While biomedical engineering technology programs are offered at the college level, the Canadian philosophy toward biomedical engineering is slightly different from that found in the United States: in Canada, biomedical engineering is offered only at the graduate level to qualified applicants with a previous degree in engineering, science, medicine, or dentistry.
