Biomedical equipment technicians are needed worldwide. Very important professionals in the health chain.
I’m a Biomed II at a local hospital. This field really only requires an associate degree and the starting salary is not that great. You can make a lot more money as a field service engineer working for a medical device company working at hospitals. The downside is the travel. So decided what’s more important to you salary or being home every night.
How much can you make as a Biomed with 10+ years of experience?
@@mindhunter8772 Depends on the job description, experiance and what the employer is willing to pay. Also negotiation skills help a lot.
@@Joe-vn3nh wow, Are you a Biomed ?
@@mindhunter8772 yes
@@Joe-vn3nh In your experience, what's the highest you've seen someone make per year in this field?...
Thank you, currently working at Children's Hospital Of Philla. I'm very interested in this Field
Thank you for the informative video, I am currently in school to become an engineer this was very helpful, and I am also the parent of 2 premature babies who spent a total of 4 months in the nicu.
In many hospitals if you get trained on higher priority/risk level of medical equipment, you will not be compensated more for it.
Medicine is a complex technology
Very impressive, please will like to join, though I have little experience, but the problem is that am writing from Nigeria.
I don't know how to achieve this
It is very difficult to find a job in this field. Out of everybody who graduated the Biomed program at my school this past school year, only one person found a job! I know it depends on where you live, and various other factors, but still. Needless to say there are a bunch of frustrated students that feel as though they were lied to by the school administration. Also, because of the saturated market, companies are not paying very much because...…….they don't have to. I graduate this year, so I'm hoping things change.
Honestly it really depends on were you live, Because as for me I graduated as a Biomedical engineering technologist or Biomedical equipment technicain at Lincoln Tech in Indiana, and I found a job within 2 weeks of looking for an open position at any hospital.......So sometimes you have to move out of were you Live, if you're really passionate about this career
Update: I have since graduated. Following my internship, I was able to temporarily stay on at the hospital I did my internship at through a 3rd party company that I worked as a contractor through. I did that for about five months. After the project ended, I was unemployed for about three months. During that time I applied everywhere, with no luck, until recently anyway. I recently got a job with a company doing x-ray/imaging repair; I am super excited about it. I live in Oregon. Things are still pretty tough in this area if you're goal is to get a job in a hospital. Again it depends on where you live. My overall advice is to not get into this field because you heard the money was good. Instead, get into the thing that you are truly interested in, and the money will follow. The personal growth in this field can be slower than one might want. My other advice is to travel to wherever it takes to get the Biomed job you really want. Once you get 3 to 5 years in, you should be able to have a much better chance at getting the job you want, at the location you want it to be at. I wish you all well.
@@drumrboynoid Thanks for the update, I'm thinking of becoming a Bio Med technician but I'm on the fence.
@@Jimbean212 I have an update. Things gave changed. Since I posted my comment, I graduated, worked through a biomed temp agency for about a year, until work got low. I then ended up becoming an imaging field service engineer for a known company and have been here for a couple years. I love it. Especially in the economy were in now, everyone is looking for biomed employees. I dont regret going to school for this one bit. I only regret not discovering it earlier in life. My only other advice to you is to join a trade. Electrician, HVAC, whatever. Good luck.
@@drumrboynoid I'm 20 about to start BMET program, should I go for it? I don't want to do electrician as I already took a class on it and just have no interest in the rough and dangerous trade. I enjoy working with electronics and prefer low voltage equipment. Realistically I would like to become an automation technician but have not found the pathway into this career. Thank you for reading!!
Great video!
Over 6 figures? What kind of position in BMET is making 7 figures?
I would recommend anyone interested in this field to thoroughly look at the pros and cons. This field isn't for everyone. 10 years in the field, and "for me" was a waste of time, unfortunately.
Can i work in this field which is i have electronic and instrument degree?
Sir any vacancies in biomeducal
can a BME become a BMET?
Yes, I have a friend who started their biomedical engineering career with a technologist job. Working with a certified manager can help you gain hours needed in the biomedical engineering field
Yeh but why would you wana do that? And work backwards?
@@Joe-vn3nh I have been looking for a job for 7 months since graduating, I have not found a job in my field of biomedical engineering bmet is probably the best I can do with my worthless engineering degree and life.
@@radnukespeoplesminds Education is never worthless and life is what you make of it, its about the attitude. BMET is a good field and you'll always have a job, but there is very little room for advancements.
@@radnukespeoplesminds woah keep your head up buddy you will find something...
A picture of a patient? As a fellow Biomedical Engineer I am very disappointed in your post. What you are doing is an obvious HIPAA violation and illegal. As an educator you of all people should know that this is inappropriate. How would the parents of that child feel about you taking a picture of them in that state. As a professional courtesy please take this post down and refrain from using pictures of patients in your social media and classrooms moving forward.
How do you know permission was not given?
stfu you piece of shit
Karen
You couldn't even see the patient all you can see is a blanket . There's no problem with his post
I'll bet you're a blast at parties.
