- Looking for an Exciting New Career? Consider Becoming a Biomedical Equipment Technician What do biomedical equipment technicians (BMETs) do? How do BMETs fit into the healthcare team? And how does one enter the field? These questions and more are addressed in this brief video, featuring members of AAMI's Technology Management Council (TMC).
I watched this video in 2012 went to school graduated in 2014 and have been in the field ever since amazing job with amazing pay (almost nurse level pay-sometimes more) thanks for the video y’all
Any way at all I could talk to you ? I’m interested in this field and would like to speak to someone that’s actually working it for info. Thanks!
i need a help please
Sincere congrats to you.
This video is a great overview of the field. I have been a Biomed for over 16 years. I received Army in the training but know that there are many great civilian college programs out there. The key is to combine training with real experience, whether that be working as a volunteer, intern, work study, etc. Exposure to equipment is the key tool to setting yourself up to be a marketable biomedical equipment repair specialist.
What are some schools that you would recommend?
In Canada we are referred to as "Technologists". I find the many different titles can be confusing - you may also see us listed as: Clinical Engineering Technologist, Engineering Technologist, Health Care Technologist, Medical Technologist
What's the payscale?Do they work in hospitals in a sort of electronics lab or offsite?
@@Jay-un2zc yes
I'm a CBET, it's a great job but the money is in Field Service, hospitals don't pay as much, but I would still think it is a great career choice
+BaileyForLife I am looking to switch careers from television broadcast to BMET. Do you know how I could get my foot in the door?
+William Tellor If you have at least your associates degree in Electronics Technology then you have a chance at a entry level position. I would also recommend taking your certification through AAMI for Biomedical Equipment Repair. Most biomed departments want the techs certified now, that would give you a leg up.
+BaileyForLife All of the certifications I saw on AAMI require 3 years of experience with my degree to even apply for, or did I misunderstand?
+Jason Apun Sorry, that is correct but unless it has changed since I took the test 6 years ago, you can still take the test and it will put you in as candidate status until you have reached your experience requirement.
+BaileyForLife I will have to look into that. Any resources/books you recommend me to study? Also, I greatly appreciate your help.
Getting your foot in the door of a hospital you would like to someday work at can be invaluable. They will get a sense of who you are and what you are like to work with, what you bring to the field -- and you can have a chance to prove yourself as a technician and team player. The only downside is that the work would most likely not be paid -- but if there is a retirement on the horizon, it could be an excellent time to start.
A counselor at my community college told me about this field. They have a program that trains you how to become a biomedical equipment technician. I might check it out because I don't know what to get into at all but like technology and helping others.
I believe that many of the college programs out there (biomed programs) require an internship, so hospitals in the local area of a biomed program seem like they would be amenable to an internship. If there are no biomed college programs in your area, I would probably draft a letter stating interest in volunteering in a local hospital's department. Make sure to state your qualifications, why you wish to volunteer/intern, and how many hours a week you would be available.
This is easily one of the best medical careers. There has been a shortage of qualified and experienced technicians and the demand is expected to rise. Check out "Better Biomed" on RUclips for more info on this career field.
this is a gr8 review on the field...
I was thinking of this for a little while but shaving my head, bootcamp and drill sergeants aren't my thing.
Excellent video. Kudos to my former boss Mr. Francoeur for his participation.

Join the Army/Air gaurd or reserve. They will send you to school, pay you for the full year of training and you only have to give them one weekend a month for four years. The D.O.D. school will familiarize you with the clinical side of things. In my expirience most employers prefered military trained techs.
I am naturally and recently graduated Electronic technician, and i got called for a interview at a Biomedical job and i wanted to know what are the most common equipment you see as a Biomedical technician?
Just about anything you can plug into an outlet
Ken's my dad... he doesnt have hair now and I'm so put off by him having hair...
What biomedical equipment does Biomed tech 1 and 2 test and repair?
Where exactly can someone get experience with this? I have a degree in electronic systems tech, but every bmet location I apply to requires 1-2yrs experience with the bio medical equipment. Most of them even said they don't even do internships.
I am studying to become a Biomedical Equipment Technician at Texas State Technical College Waco. I have had the pleasure of meeting these two men and I appreciate their efforts in promoting the diverse and challenging career of the Biomedical Equipment and Imaging Technicians fields.
johnboylong40 Whoa, I live in Waco and going to be doing the same thing! Small world, haha.
Update please!
how is carreer going? my son just enrolled at TSTC for buy your med
Any update?

"Awesome "
Are there placement programs in this program? Im going into BMET and I'm afraid of the lack of exp I would have graduating to get a job right away. Thanks.
Helpful...
@1111news thank god for Canada, I just had back surgery , and i didn't pay a cent for my test and surgery thankful i live in Canada
Nice.
anyone know what a major in school for this would be??
I started electronics technology at a technical school but..
Do you need a degree to start working as a biomedical tech?
you can study electronic and electrical engineering and have a city and guils engineering diploma and apply in hospital...
Can anyone tell me difference between bs bio medical engineering technology and bio medical engineering technicians
its the same thing
Nice
what this got to do with Biomedical technician
Did you Even watch the video
I Finished my Unversity Degree before 5 Months and still i can't Get a job ??????
why ????
go apply in somalia
I Really Like The Video Consider Becoming a Biomedical Equipment Technician What do biomedical equipment technicians From Your
Join us in this carreer and witness the corruption of healthcare. If you really want to help, stop the high cost of healthcare.
10 years working as a BMET, very little career advancement, very demanding job with crappy pay. Go for I.T, or any other well established field instead.
@sirslobalot thx Bro.
@hamodah123456 Have you found anything yet?
