Abstract

Biomedical equipment Master´s degree is recognized by the French Ministry of Health, since its creation in 1975 under the denomination of ldquoSpecialization for Hospital Biomedical Engineersrdquo. Since the new national status of technical staff in the public service by decree of September 5th of 1991, it allows to access directly to the level of Chief Hospital Engineer (first category, second class, by ordinance of October 23rd, 1992). Biomedical Engineers jobs in French hospitals are selected after an examination organized by the recruiting hospital. Master´s graduates are most often the best qualified.
