Career in Biomedical science

About the Subject

Biomedical Science has now one of the premiere subjects as an academic degree. It generally has its own discipline to all other engineering fields. Biomedical engineering applications include the development of bio-compatible prostheses, various diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices ranging from clinical equipment to micro-implants solving skills of engineering with medical and biological sciences to improve healthcare diagnosis, monitoring and therapy. Over many universities in US are now familiar to these subjects and student showing much interest for their career outlook.


Educational Requirements:

All biomedical engineers have at least a bachelor's degree in engineering. Many have advanced graduate degrees as well. Courses of study include a sound background in mechanical, chemical, or industrial engineering, and specialized biomedical training. The biomedical scientist requires an understanding of medical biochemistry, microbiology, clinical and medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, cell and molecular biology, anatomy, physiology, pathology and/or cytology. They must also be discreet, well-organized, meticulous and able to communicate their findings to medics delivering treatment.

Employment opportunities in Biomedical Engineers:

There is a growing need for engineers trained in the biomedical sciences. Biomedical engineers are employed in industry, in hospitals, in research facilities of educational and medical institutions, in teaching, and in government regulatory agencies. They often serve a coordinating or interfacing function, using their background in both the engineering and medical fields. In industry, they may create designs where an in-depth understanding of living systems and of technology is essential. They may be involved in performance testing of new or proposed products. Government positions often involve product testing and safety, as well as establishing safety standards for devices.


Pay scale

Biomedical Engineers get pay on average about $37, 877-$93,393 (approx).For more information just log on www.educationambassadors.com or you can register yourselves in www.educationambassdors.com/findmyschool.aspx for connecting with our advisor.
