Biomedical Engineers lead an important role in the planning , design, implementation , operation and
maintenance of medical equipments and devices in various health facilities and services in the public
and private sectors . To maintain keeping biomedical engineers on top of readiness to perform their
roles properly , it is important to provide them with the latest knowledge and expertise , and inform them

to maintain these equipments and devices in the best possible condition through effective training and
continuous that will leads to serve the needs of patients in hospitals. This study addresses the reality of
training of biomedical engineers in Saudi Arabian hospitals and expectations of having appropriate
training ; thus will includes the importance of training biomedical engineering , and types of training
programs , and its strategies in recent developments in the relevant fields to their job and duties, and a
presentation of some of the experiences and good international practice in this area , and then highlight
the fact practical for this type of training in Saudi Arabian hospitals and its various applications , and the

out by the local hospitals, and assess the reality of these plans to achieve the goals set for them. The
paper concludes with an offer to the requirements of good training of the training program of choosing
