Abstract

The penetration of science and technology into medicine opens new horizons for this branch of knowledge and leads both the doctor and the engineer to engage in a closer dialogue. This explains the recent development of biomedical engineering courses in French engineering schools and universities. The relevant courses are described and the problems of employment in the profession are considered. In the present difficult economic situation openings are limited, but it is hoped that, if the needs filled by and the efficacy of this training are taken into consideration, the situation will improve.
