Multiple studies showed the need for students in health-related programs to be trained and instructed in topics related to nanotechnology. Still, the students' perceptions highlight how inadequate or non-existent such education in this field is. Although a few studies have proposed strategies and approaches for incorporating nanotechnology in academic programs in different areas, it is still necessary to establish educational standards so that the training of future professionals will be uniform and of high quality. The concerned educational institutions' directives must try to ensure that their in-training staff receives an updated, full, and excellency education.
