Abstract :
This is a pilot study of the feasibility of having biomedical engineers exchange jobs in other countries for a period of time. The exchange is a way of learning what our fellow biomedical engineers do. An exchange is the best way to exchange information since the exchangee actually works in the other person´s job whereas at a conference there is an exchange of ideas without realization of the implications of applying the ideas
