Our anesthesia guy is also our OR guy. And myself as a biomed I handles most of the pedi departments. Incubators, resuscitators, warmers and fetal monitoring equipment.
I first met a bmet while working in radiology. Now I’m starting my first class online at College of Biomedical Technology. I want to go into imaging eventually because I have 7 years working in that specialty already haha but hearing you say that MRI techs make a good amount more motivates me to pursue that route 😮
Biomed here from NZ, hospitals and private company struggle to get experience bmet to work here. Salary minimum start at $50k for bmet 1. And the expectation for that is to do generic medical device for wards and clinics.
is "biomedical engineer" and "biomed" refer to the same thing? and as an electrical engineering student that is interested in this field, I'm wondering what are the best specialities related to EE background in terms of opportunities and career development?
A biomedical engineer can work as a scientist but sometimes it’s also referred to as a Biomedical Engineering Department or a Clinical Engineering Department that work in Hospitals. The tiles can vary from hospital to hospital. Titles in the Biomedical Engineering Department can be BMET 1, 2 or 3, Biomedical Engineer, Biomedical Service Coordinator (my title), Biomedical Specialist Ultrasound, Biomedical Specialist dialysis, Biomedical Radiology Engineer, Senior Biomedical Technician, Biomedical Technician. Most of these titles have been from my experience in the field.
I have no experience in BMET and have a company that is looking to hire me as a surgical equipment representative. HR described it as something to similar to BMET and they'll send me to their company for training and such. I have lots of mechanical background and basic electrical troubleshooting. Is this something that is gonna be over my head and a struggle to get into and succeed?!
I got a degree and I kind of regret doing an apprenticeship afterwards since I didn’t need prior education lol but lots of hospitals and companies have apprenticeship programs if you browse their sites. Check your local hospital or even college! I did mine in partnership with a community college.
Oh and a lot of people I work with (feels like a cult) went to TSTC in Waco or the RGV in Texas, apparently super great school but lots of community colleges offer it now :b
I came across your channel bc I was prepping for a BMET interview. Your videos are so awesome and informative. Thanks for so many good leads 👌🏽
Thanks for your support!

Yes do a video on imagining! Bring me more please!
Love your meticulous nature.
Great video
Am a biomedical engineer in kenya graduate, yet here they don't tell us about this many specialisties
I work in a cancer research lab and I’m trained on multiple instruments the main one being Roche benchmark ultras and one paid very well

Sounds like a good start to a great career
I'm looking to skillbridge into this in about a year when I leave the Air Force. Any company's you recommend there?
Contact the folks ar CBET.EDU and let them know your timeline.
For a BMET 1 looking to get training in medical networking, what certs/schools/internships would you recommend?
I suggest you contact CBET.edu on their current and future offerings for medical networking. Get ahead.

Is HVAC considered a specialty
I know a biomed who does refrigeration
