[ Summary ] If problems with clinical engineers' training are reviewed in old reports, there is an acceptance of variations according to the institution or field. Cooperation in the development of schools and the Association for Clinical Engineering Technologists is important for the development of training because corrections, and the qualifications to create a clinical-training guidelines and laboratory work determine the qualities which are required of them. In relation to this, the Japan Association for Clinical Engineering Technologists cooperated with the Japan Association of Educational Facilities of Clinical Engineering Technologists, and has begun the creation of unified clinical-training guidelines. Moreover, the proposed creation of a clinical engineers grading system, which will guide clinical training is also under development. It is required that we develop a clinical engineers' lifelong education system, which will not be inferior to other occupational programs.
