Biomedical equipment Master's degree is recognized by the French Ministry of Health, since its creation in 1975 under the denomination of "Specialization for Hospital Biomedical Engineers". 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.

Compiegne's University of Technology is one of the main contributors in clinical engineering education in France. Knowledge and skills have been acquired since 1974 through professional specialization courses and new programs such as master's degrees, engineering and PhD degrees, and continuing education courses for technicians. To face current hospitals needs, new investments in distance learning have been made. The first results are presented in the following.
