Abstract
Historically, rehabilitation engineering and assistive technology practitioners have received inconsistent pre-professional training. A survey of current post-secondary professional curricula reveals several facets of rehabilitation engineering and assistive technology educational models that remain diverse. Suggestions for improvement and standardization of educational curricula are given based on the body of literature related to pre-professional education of practitioners, as well as anticipated certification and accreditation efforts by the field's principal credentialing body.
