What are the requirements of being a Bio Med Technician?
551066
You must be a certified medical lab technician, whether you have a university degree or not. Most places prefer 1 to 3 years experience as a lab technician, some like biochemistry degrees thrown in the bunch, and all want experience with blood assays, immunoflouresence assays, and all that medical lab techs do.  Of course, you must also handle yourself expertly with a computer, and know how to work under a great deal of pressure, that job is stressful.

Although there are many opportunities in these areas, I will only highlight two, since I have experience in those areas.  The first is a Clinical Laboratory Scientist (aka-Medical Technologist).  These are the people who generally work in hospital labs, performing the various tests on body fluids that doctors order.\n\nMed techs can choose to work only in the area of Microbiology in the lab.  They culture patient samples and identify any organisms that may grow from those samples.  They also perform susceptibility testing on organisms to help let the doctor know which drugs would work best to treat the patient.  (Med techs can also specialize in Mycology (fungi) and parasitology.)\n\nImmunology is another area that med techs can work in.  Here, they test patients' blood for antibodies in order to diagnose various (often viral) diseases.\n\nAlso, there is also a demand in the field of infectious disease epidemiology.  In this area, epidemiologists try to find the cause, source, etc. of various infectious agents as well as try to find a way to prevent occurences of infectious disease.\n\nSo, that's about all I can tell you in a nutshell.  I hope that helps.

being a dentist requires the exact same college prep as being a medical doctor...  you should be a pre-med major in some sort of biology. most dental students have a 4-yr degree in biology, chemistry, biochemistry, zoology, microbiology, etc.  other majors are accepted, but you must take the prereqs designated by the dental school you wish to attend.  you should also join your college's pre-dental society.

Biomedical engineering is rather specific and becoming really popular (kinda like programming).  You can make a good income, if that's all you want, with that degree.\n\nA biology degree is actually more versatile, in that you can become a medical writer, become a certified teacher, go to further professional/graduate school, become a laboratory/research assistant, etc.  Regardless, you should have a minor with it too, that will increase your skill set (I would recommend chemistry, English, or maybe even physics).\n\nYou should actually think about a biochemistry degree for medical school, IMO.

First you need to go to college and get your Medical School Requirements met. These usually include:  8 hours of General Biology (including labs); 8 hours of General Chemistry (again, including labs); 6 hours of Organic Chemistry (usually three is only an Orgo 2 lab-not a lab for orgo 1); 8 hours of Physics (including labs); Calculus I (only 3 med schools require Calc 2); Statistics I is suggested by many Medical schools; 4 hours Biochemistry (including lab); and then depending upon what Medical School you wish to get into, there are usually other science courses, usually some genetics and microbiology that Medical Schools look for. Upon completeing the required college classes you must take a standardized test called the MCAT, which is an admission test for Medical Schools that tests on the courses listed above. It is much like the SAT is for college and university admission.\n\nMost medical schools accept about 24-28ish MCAT scores and a 3.5 GPA from the collgee level work. In addition, they look for people that genuinely care for their community and show it with volunteer activities and dedication. Getting into Med School alone is very tricky.\n\nOnce in Medical School, you complete 2 years of book learning, and then do rotations with doctors in a hospital in many different medical areas. While you may be sure that you want to go into pediatrics, you must complete these rounds with satisfactory grades from the Doctors to proceed to your Internship. In your internship, you will begin to specialize within your field of medicine. If you did not recieve good enough grades from the pediatrician you rounded with, you will not be allowed to go into that field of medicine. You are an Intern for about a year, and then you are a resident for a number of years following that, until you have learned enough to be on your own.\n\nIt's a long path, but if you are determined and focused enough, it's very rewarding. Best of Luck!

Biotechnology or BT is industrial application of biology. Its biology in the service of mankind. It involves application of plants, animals and microorganisms in industry. On the other hand, Biomedical engineering uses traditional engineering expertise to solve problems in biology and medicine. Hearing aids,pacemakers etc. are the gifts of biomedical engineering to mankind.\n\nUnder-grad courses in BT - \nYou can go either for BSc. Biotechnology, B.E Biotech or B.Tech Biotech, B.E Biomedical engineering etc. For list of Biotechnology colleges and Biomedical engineering colleges, visit http://www.biotechworld.cjb.cc\n\nPost-grad courses in BT - \nMSc. in Biotechnology has good career prospects. Biotech is a booming sector and the growth oppurtunities are high. The Biotech sector includes - Biopharma, Biotech, Biotech services, Bioindustrial, Bioinformatics etc. After BSc., those who want to go for research, choose MSc. and then go for Phd. On the other hand, some go for MBA-Biotechnology. Career oppurtunities for both these courses are good.\n\nAfter doing MSc. Biotech, one can join R&D dept. of any good Biotech company. US is the best destination for Biotechnology. It stands out in the field of research as well as the biotech market is much developed in the US. Similar, is the case with UK, Canada and a few EU countries. Coming to India and China, these countries are really trying hard. Australia is good study destination as well for BT studies in Asia-Pacific region.\n\nFor details on entrance exams and admission procedures as well as more career options in BT, you may visit -\nhttp://www.biotechworld.cjb.cc\n\nThe other career prospect is MBA-Biotechnology. MBA-Biotech has bright prospects. It is a 2-year programme in management. Only science stream graduates/ those in their final year of graduation can only apply for this course. This course gives equal emphasis to both Biotechnology and management. In India, University of Pune(PUMBA), Amity Institute at Noida are the preferred institutes for this course.

Career Opportunities in Biology \n\nThis section includes brief descriptions of a few selected careers in biology and medicine, and how they relate to the Biology major at Muhlenberg. We have included some suggested courses for each career goal to help you think about how to organize your curriculum around your goals.\n\nBiomedical research :: Cancer research :: Cell/Molecular biology :: Genetics :: Developmental biology \nThere are currently abundant opportunities in academic institutions, medical schools, the government, and pharmaceutical industry for individuals with training in modern biotechnology. You can work in these settings with a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree as a technician, or as a scientist with a Ph.D. Many students may work for one or two years following graduation in one of these settings with only their B.S. from Muhlenberg. A lifetime career in one of these areas generally requires a Ph.D., although there now exist some specialized M.S. programs that are designed to prepare students for a technical career in the biotechnology industry. Currently, individuals with an M.D. are working in these areas, but this is likely to decrease in the future, given changes in the American medical establishment. If you are interested in working in one of these areas, even for a relatively short period of time, you should plan to take: Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, Genetics, Immunology, Microbiology, and Molecular Biology. You should also take two years of Chemistry, a year of Physics, Calculus, and perhaps Physical Chemistry, particularly if you are interested in a biochemically-oriented position (e.g., working in a pharmaceutical setting). Laboratory research experience is generally required for admission to graduate programs.\n\nNeuroscience \nThe expectations for graduate study and a career in Neuroscience are similar to the above section, with additional emphasis on Psychology. Students interested in a career in Neuroscience should take the usual two years of Chemistry, and one year each of Physics and Calculus. Upper level Biology courses that you should take include: Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Comparative Anatomy, Development Biology, General Physiology, Molecular Biology, Neurobiology, Advanced Topics in Neuroscience, and Transmission Electron Microscopy. Courses in other Departments include: Mind and Brain, Introductory Psychology, Cognitive Processes, Biological Psychology, Sensation and Perception, and Philosophy of Mind. Once again, laboratory research experience is an expectation of graduate programs in this area.\n\nEcology :: Evolutionary biology\nStudents interested in careers as a professional ecologist or evolutionary biologist should prepare for graduate school. Individuals work in these fields with Bachelors’, Masters’, and Ph.D. degrees. If you are interested in a career in these areas you should take Ecology, Evolution, Field Botany and Plant Ecology, and Genetics. You will also need to take Statistics, and a year of Physics, Calculus, and Chemistry. Significant field research experience is also a must. You may also want to enroll in Botany, Comparative Anatomy, Ethology, General Physiology, Molecular Biology, Ornithology, Physiological Ecology, Plant Evolutionary Biology, Zoology, the special field experience trips to Costa Rica and/or Bermuda, and Advanced Statistics.\n\nApplied ecology :: Environmental management :: Forestry\nStudents majoring in Biology may seek employment or graduate education in applied ecology and related fields. If you are interested in one of these areas plan on taking Ecology, Field Botany and Plant Ecology, Genetics, and Conservation and Restoration Ecology (to be added to the curriculum soon). You should also enroll in Statistics, Microeconomics, and complete a year of Physics, Calculus, and Chemistry. Other courses you should consider are: Botany, Ethology, General Physiology, Physiological Ecology, Plant Evolutionary Biology, Ornithology, Inve

MBA in Biotechnology or simply MBA-BT or MBA-Biotech is a specialised MBA.MBA is a 2 year post-graduate programme in management. MBA is of 2 types - general MBA and specialised MBA.In general MBA at the end of 1st year you are supposed to choose specialisation in either of the 1 subject - marketing or finance or materials/operations or human resource. Example of specialised MBA is MBA in Biotechnology which is available at the Department of Management Sciences, University of Pune which is popularly called PUMBA. In specialised MBA like MBA-Biotechnology you are taught all the 4 subjects in much detail i.e marketing, finance, materials/operations and HR that's because your specialisation is Biotechnology.You are specially prepared to lead a Biotech or Pharma company.The advantage is that you can go to any other sector like telecom, IT, Retailing etc. because you have been given detailed knowledge of every field with special focus on Biotechnology. That's the advantage.There is much demand for MBA-Biotechnology in Australia, USA and Europe apart from the one in India. For details on this course visit http://www.microbiologyindia.cjb.net \n\nThis website also offers Free MBA-Biotech Newsletter.Also they offer Free counselling and guidance.Plus Free notes for BSc. Microbiology and Biotechnology students are also available on this site.\n\nThe web-site tells you also on various management entrances like MAT, ATMA, CAT etc.Ranking of colleges along with list of various colleges is also given.Also biggest list of BTech Biotechnology and BE Biotechnology colleges is available on this site.\n\nMBA-BT or MBA-Biotech is available at Department of Management Sciences(University of Pune), Amity, Noida etc.

Right now, there is a great demand for both, but it depends on what you like and excel at doing.  Bio tech has a history of being a more volatile career setting, but can be very rewarding.  Pharm cannot be outsourced and jobs are and will continue to be plentiful.  What do you like to do the most, research or medicine?  The hospital I work at has a program that allows students to "shadow" the pharmacist to get a better idea of what the job really in-tells.
