| Popis | Although biomedical physicists provide educational services to the healthcare professions in the most universities in Europe, their precise role in the education of the healthcare professions has not been studied systematically. This paper reports the results of a SWOT audit for the role of the biomedical physicist in the education of the healthcare professions in Europe. Internal Strengths and Weaknesses of the role were identified through a qualitative survey of biomedical physics departments and biomedical physics curricula across Europe. External environmental Opportunities and Threats were identified through a systematic survey of the healthcare, healthcare professional education and higher education literature and categorized under standard political, economic, social-psychological, technological-scientific) categories. The paper includes an appendix of terminology. |
