Question

What level of science do people use in a hospital? ?

Answer 1

its medical science  

Answer 2

Talk to your Radiation Physicist. See if you can understand the thousands of simultaneous equations a CT scan is solving every second to produce an image.  Ask the Pharmacist about pharmacodynamics of medicine, and drug interactions.  Ask the average FP why he chooses one drug over another.    Now the gal who empties the bedpans is not using a lot of science. But the fellow who figured out the way to empty them without contaminating everything had to know a lot of engineering.  Oxygen is piped into every room.  It took some science to figure out a valve system that is easy to use and will not leak  Someone has to understand the electronics that go into the monitors used routinely.  Everything is computerized, so Computer science is big.  There is a LOT of applied science in Medicine.

Answer 3

Depends on what job they are doing. I work in a clinical chemistry lab (in the UK) and already had a PhD in biochemistry when I started work. I had to do a further masters degree and will have to do years of further professional exams. Other people come to work in our lab straight from school. There are other people in the hospital with postgraduate degrees in physics, pharmacy, people who specialise in electronics, and lots of plain old medics!

Answer 4

It depends on who you are referring to... not all hospital employees have the same educational background
