| Sumario: | The Favaloro University initiated the academic path in biomedical sciences in Buenos Aires, Argentina. As a very promising area, the biomedical world offers the integration between several domains, complementing medicine with engineering topics. The profile of the graduated students proved to be very versatile, allowing their instantaneous incorporation to the competitive market in this vast field. The university strategy is to concentrate basic science in the first 3 years and add the specific biological/medical concepts in the last 2 years. The students achieve a bachelor degree that integrates their knowledge in basic sciences. Afterwards, they attend a professional 2 year cycle, choosing between biomedical, physics and medical computing branches. The results proved to be effective in terms of professional and academic quality, market insertion and even the creation of promising seeds for future enterprises. © 2005 IEEE. |
