The original intentions behind The Nuremberg Code‚ which some credit as being the first set of ethical guidelines for the conduct of biomedical research‚ were to not only prevent the cruelty of the experiments mentioned during the Nuremberg Trials from being repeated‚ but also to have a future set of rules for investigators to be able to follow‚ and potentially prosecute‚ if it came it came to it again. While it is often regarded as being the first document of its kind‚ The Nuremberg Code was very

Biomedical Engineering Biomedical Engineers are highly trained scientists who use engineering and life science principles to research biological aspects of animal and human life (1). Some tasks of a biomedical engineer include‚ developing new theories‚ modifying‚ testing‚ and proving existing theories‚ and designing health care instruments and devices or apply engineering principles to the study of human systems. Biomedical engineering has been created by advancements in technology. It is an interdisciplinary

Biomedical technology‚ the product of the medical field joining with the fields of engineering and science‚ is one of the fastest growing consumers of tax dollars. Although biomedical technology has been around for ages‚ it did not start to grow so exponentially until the post World War II era. Soon after WWII‚ biomedical technology research began to skyrocket and the discoveries it made were ground

Preparing for the BMAT (biomedical admissions test) The biomedical admissions test was created to assist medical and veterinary schools in the admissions process. Some of the universities have much more applications than places and the majority of these applications are strong. The BMAT allows the universities to filter out the strongest candidates based on exam performance. The BMAT exam lasts for 2 hours and is split into 3 sections. The examination test date is 31st October 2008. This article
