Abstract
From thirty years ago, a lot of Biomedical engineering equipments are rapidly introduced in clinical field. They are sophisticated and indispensable for modern medicine. Recently some accidents related to biomedical equipments are reported in Japan. The ministry of health, labour and welfare is trying to change the curriculum for clinical engineering technologists. We think that the basic engineering is the most important for them, because many sophisticated new equipments are introduced very rapidly. But the ministry tends to change the education system not suitable for teaching basic engineering. At this time, we think that it is very important to discuss the situation of clinical engineering technicians in various countries and their roles in future.
