Abstract
The growing concern among biomedical engineers who practice in the clinical environment regarding the degree of professionalism and personal commitment that is being demonstrated by the engineering discipline is examined. Issues that will assist in shaping the characteristics of professional excellence are addressed. The characteristics that are present to varying degrees in every group commonly recognized to be a profession are described. Three levels and six stages of ethical conduct are identified.<>
