Abstract
The authors discuss the present status of the rehabilitation engineer and provide suggestions on how to increase interest in the field. The suggestions include: (1) introduction of formal undergraduate and graduate training programs; (2) establishment of professional qualification and certification criteria; (3) offering malpractice insurance to individual rehabilitation engineers; (4) more employment opportunity in hospitals for rehabilitation engineers; and (5) extension of malpractice insurance and modification of malpractice and product liability laws to cover the modification of available equipment by rehabilitation engineers.<>
