What is my future in the field of biomedical sciences?

Question

i am doing my first year bachelors in biomedical sciences.what kind of future career can i expect?i am a aware to an extent about my career options but i would like to know more from others.

Answer 1

There have been tremendous breakthroughs in biology and biotechnology in recent years.  We are beginning to understand the functions of the human body (and other animals) as never before.  With that knowledge and the advancement of technology, we are able to eradicate many diseases and provide amazing help to the disabled.

While your topic may have been posted under MEDICINE, BIOLOGY, EMPLOYMENT, or HIGHER EDUCATION, it application to this section, SPECIAL EDUCATION is up to you. I would hope that you enter this field with a determination to find the causes and cures for disabilities, such as autism.  Find the genetic marker and a way to switch off the combination of bad genes and witch on the good genes that lead to the disorder.

The future of the field of biotechnology is limited only by funding and the economy.  While funding and the economy will impact all fields, this field has no shortage of potential clients.  The need to understand how our bodies function and how to repair them will never be outdated until mankind knows all things.

Some of the more interesting careers in the biomedical field are:

*Bioinstrumentation is the application of electronics and measurement techniques to develop devices used in diagnosis and treatment of disease. Computers are an essential part of bioinstrumentation.

*Biomaterials include both living tissue and artificial materials used for implantation.

*Biomechanics applies classical mechanics to biological or medical problems. This includes flow within the body and motion as it relates to medical problems.

*Cellular, Tissue and Genetic Engineering involve attempts to attack biomedical problems at the microscopic level.

I have just named a very few, but I wanted to point out that when deciding a career path, you need to consider the environment in which you will be working. Do you like being in the lab with microscopes? Do you want to work with people or do you want to work on behalf of people. Do you like spending long periods of time on the computer?

The biomedical field runs the gamut of different environments such as hospitals, universities, laboratories, in industry, in teaching and government regulatory agencies. As you can see, each of these involve wholly different kinds of places and people.

Finally decide the kinds of people you will like being around including scientists, doctors, computer geeks etc.

Many people don't think of these things when they decide on a career, but outside of purpose of your career, they are the most important things.
