Abstract
Technomedicum (TM), a research, educational and development institution, was set up in 2006 to create an innovative and interdisciplinary research unit combining efforts of Tallinn University of Technology, hospitals and other healthcare organizations. TM performs the bachelor, master and doctoral studies of Biomedical Engineering and Medical Physics at the Faculty of Science. The aim of the study is to provide interdisciplinary education based mostly on information technology and life sciences, to integrate physical and biological knowledge with the principles of engineering for understanding the processes in human being and for the application of technology to improving health and quality of life. For achieving such aims the professional societies in European and National level must be involved to create criteria and recommendations concerning harmonized outcome based accreditation of educational programs throughout Europe, training, continuing education, certification, and the arising questions about a regulation of the Medical and Biological Engineering and Sciences professions.
