Biomedical Science is the broadest and most powerful area of medical related modern sciences, from identifying the cure of infectious diseases that could wipe out humanity to choosing the colour of the eyes of a newborn baby. It has the power to determine crucial treatments for patients, which involves a high scientific responsibility and dedication. It requires technical ability with an open mind for problem solving, as well as a depth of knowledge of many biological and chemical principles.
My first approach to biomedical science was at the age of 12 when I became really interested in human biology; the basic functions I learnt in school encouraged me to research and find out more. Overhearing terms in medical movies or TV series, such as ‘myoclonic spasms’ in an episode of ‘House M.D’ led to fascination and further reading about the nervous system. I then went on to discover more about the immune system and different organ systems in my studies.

Then I came to the UK, aged 15, for a better education, but having to take my GCSEs in less than a year of arriving here, in a language I was not yet confident in, meant I did not get the grades I had hoped for. Despite facing all these difficulties, I progressed to level 3 BTEC in Applied Sciences which gave me a good grounding in technical lab skills and one year later to college where I took an Access to Higher Education course covering Biology, Chemistry and Physics. This has helped me develop my independent study skills, team work and research
The term biomedicine is used to describe scientific medicine which is prominent in Western societies. To get a better grasp of this concept, Baronov (2008) presented the following interrelated views which account for biomedicine’s ongoing development. Fi...
The medical field offers a variety of job opportunities for people of any age, education and skill level. One of the many jobs offered by the medical field is that of a biomedical engineer. A biomedical engineer applies engineering principles to healthcare and the equipment used in the health field. Being a biomedical engineer, you can take very many paths as soon as you finish your schooling. Depending on where you work, you can have multiple duties such as designing equipment and devices used for diagnosing and treating medical problems. Biomedical engineers evaluate the properties of biomedical equipment, maintain, and provide technical support with proper training required to use the equipment. On the more scientific aspect of the job,
Biomedical engineering is a branch of science that connects engineering sciences with biological sciences that started around the 1940s (Citron & Nerem, 2004). Biomedical engineering is the discipline that promotes learning in engineering, biology, chemistry, and medicine. The objective for biomedical engineers is to enhance human health by incorporating engineering and biomedical sciences to solve problems. Some of the accomplishments made from biomedical engineering are prosthetics, robotic and laser surgery, implanted devices, imaging devices, nanotheranostics and artificial intelligence. As we head towards the future, biomedical engineering is anticipated to become an even greater part of the medical industry and bring about innovating
Almost every scientist has a formative moment at the beginning of their career that gets them hooked to research. For me, this moment came as I looked through a microscope and noticed the open neural tubes of embryos I had genetically manipulated. I had identified an uncharacterized, disease-related gene and showed its role in the formation of cilia as well as neural tube closure. This was the first time in my undergrad I felt the exhilaration of first-hand discovery, and from this moment forward, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in research. Complementing my passion for research is a strong appreciation for medicine and its clinical implementation, which together have led me to consider pursuing an MD/PhD. These two degrees will allow me to take a multifaceted approach to both medicine and basic science research - applying an advanced understanding of human physiology and interpersonal care to the
Biomedical engineering can trace its history to as far back as a hundred years ago when the first X-ray machines and electrocardiographs dramatically illustrated how technology could be used for the diagnosis of disease. Today the field of biomedical engineering is in full power, propelled by the momentum of the post-World war II technology boom and the latest molecular, genetic, and computational developments. Having gone beyond its roots in imaging and instrumentation, biomedical engineering now encompasses at least 13 specialties according to the 2000 edition of The Biomedical Engineering
So here I am headed towards the end of my very first term of college. I finally did it, I got up the guts to take this leap and I am very happy I did. It took me several years of contemplating this decision before finally taking the plunge. I had a lot to consider before doing this such as affordability, do I have enough time in my life, and will I be able to stay motivated to successfully graduate. After thinking long and hard about these questions, I realized that the answer to all of them was simple.
Life is much easier thanks to the technology which is constantly involving. Biomedical Engineering is one of now a day’s major that is exponentially growing and having a great impact whether is health care or socially wealth. Biomedical Engineering is a field that is exponentially growing in health research. Biomedical Engineering is the combination of doctrines and problem-solving approaches of biology and medicine (Intro to Biomedical). Although is most commonly known for having a positive impact in persons and society, Biomedical engineering has a very delicate issue which is contaminated residue. Biomedical Institutions have the responsibility to strike this issue and eradicate to have a healthier place to
In order to pursue a career in medicine, you must first go medical school. For this essay, I decided to discuss the necessary requirements for admission into the McMaster Medical Program or the Michael G. DeGroot School of Medicine. Before I can apply for medical school, I must first get a university education. I can prepare for this in high school by planning ahead, and taking the required pre-requisites for my university program of interest.
My journey in public health did start as a beneficiary rather than a career goal. For instance, mass polio vaccination campaigns or use of mass media to teach about HIV/AIDS were a big part of my childhood memory. Thus, when I was exploring public health as a career, I was captivated to know more about the field and understand its impacts in my community. Understanding this personal connection has influenced my choice of public health as a career and helped me work hard during my undergraduate study at George Mason University. As a child, I was always curious to know more about nature.
There is a quote that I really like which is “Never stop doing your best just because someone doesn’t give you credits”. Every time I feel disappointed and want to give up, this quote improves my mood and makes me believe in my choices. I find that science subjects are always interesting to me and I enjoy understanding and learning how things work. When I was a teenager, while my friends were enjoying romantic movies, I enjoyed watching movies relating to medical fields and imagined that one day, I would wear a white coat and work in a laboratory with cool stuff. However, when I attended high school, I still didn’t know what exactly I would do.
As a student I am a determined and hardworking when it comes to resolving problems and finishing work. As an individual, I am a humble and caring person that will put others before herself . One big value that I have is family , family to me is everything because they have shaped me to be a person that appreciates any little thing that is sent my way and has influenced me to be an unselfish person and to be determined to succeed in whatever I set my mind to. One big experience that has influenced me greatly is my grandma’s passing that occurred midway through junior year. Her passing really gave me a mindset about living life to the fullest and not second thinking anything that I know I want to do.
I am Fasiha Abdul Rehman, holding a professional degree of Doctor of Pharmacy at 23 years of age; with a deeper interest in contributing to the understanding of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases and unveiling new information for medical advancement and betterment of mankind and I envisage Masters as crucial step in this direction.
I have always been good at biology and mathematics. This is one reason why one of my many goals is to major in biomedical engineering. I am very excited to start studying biomedical sciences, and hope to use my newly learned skills in the medical field. Achieving a college education in such field will pave the road for my future career, by teaching and instilling knowledge that would not have been learned otherwise.
My desire of studying biomedical sciences stems from my sciences interest, as it demonstrates a world not visible to the naked eye, plays a big role in everyday life. science specifically biology and chemistry are stimulating and challenging subjects , over the years of studying them ,my interest has increased because learning things about how our bodies function and how it relates to god’s creation is particularly interesting for me. I also find it very important because I’m Muslim. The biomedical science degree will open for me the door to learn more about the vast field of biology and its branches to a greater depth. I developed my knowledge in the science field by taking support classes in the lab at school; I was fascinated by how the body can function in different circumstances and the complexity of DNA, different organisms, chemical reactions, and also very importantly the mathematical aspect which gives me the chance to develop and use my logic and it inform me to new ways of looking at given problems.
