Due to the diversity of the field, it has become essential to identify tracks or specialisations that students can engage in during their final years of study. However, due to the limited resources, especially in the Arab world, most universities stick to limited specialisations. In this paper, we shall review the state of the art tracks in Biomedical Engineering globally with concentration on the Arab World. We shall also focus on the prospect of the field and the expected future requirements. 2011 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.EnglishBiomedical engineeringBMEBME coursesFuture challengesSpecialisationsBMEBME coursesFuture challengesHealthcare industrySpecialisationsState of the artBiophysicsHealth careMedicineEngineeringArticlehttps://doi.org/10.1504/IJBET.2011.041122
