Abstract :
The requirements for engineers/physicists and the need for specialists in small countries causes differences in educational programmes and problems with accreditation. These problems are discussed for the example of Estonia. The structure of biomedical engineering and medical physics education and possibilities of professional accreditation as a chartered engineer or a euro-engineer in this area are reported. The Estonian society for Biomedical Engineering and Medical Physics is the main body providing accreditation of specialists
