Abstract
The critical role of the engineer in the healthcare delivery system is discussed. It is noted that health care engineers must adapt to this changing environment while still pursuing the professional goals of autonomy, job satisfaction, professional pride, recognized status, and proper compensation. It is suggested that health care engineers would be better served through an examination of the professionalization process itself, placing greater emphasis on the basic, essential elements of professional development clearly presented in the literature
