ABSTRACT
This chapter will discuss several professional issues relating to professionalism in biomedical engineering (BME). Specifically, it will cover some of the alphabet soup of professional societies that many biomedical engineers are members of and/or need to be familiar with as they are also standards-setting groups. Next, it will cover licensing of engineers and the ramifications for practicing biomedical engineers, especially those working in the area of forensics. Lastly, it will briefly discuss issues relating to continuing education for both licensed and unlicensed engineers.
