  • Abstract
    The college diploma suffices for professional registration in Argentina and for the first time, Biomedical Engineering curricula have been included among those programs that need government and peers approval as their professional practice may affect citizen´s health, safety or state. In this paper we present the standards that must be followed by BME programs and educational institutions in order to allow their graduates registration before professional boards
