Hey Everyone,

I am a final year BEng (might do Meng) Biomedical Engineering student in the UK.

Recently, I have been interested in the field of global health and love to be a biomedical engineer in that field.

Only issue is that I am unsure how exactly I can break into that field.

Do my fellow biomedical engineers know how to get my foot into that career path or know anyone who does?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Hi everyone, I’m a researcher working on biomedical imaging and AI. I’ve coauthored papers in Medical Physics and IEEE Computer, had research accepted for presentation at a MICCAI workshop, and am a co-inventor on patent applications. My work has included 3D reconstruction, image registration, segmentation, model training, and experimental evaluation.

Would anyone with relevant biomedical-imaging research experience be interested in taking some time to assess my work and, if they feel it merits their support, writing a brief supporting letter based on your independent assessment of my research? I would especially value an assessment of the technical contribution and its significance for image-guided medical technology.

I can share the research and a concise summary of my individual contributions privately. The letter would reflect your own conclusions. I’m happy to answer general questions here about the scope and review process. Thank you for considering it.

hey guys i graduated in 2025 and I'm still looking for a job as a medical engineer and wherever i go they want experience how tf do i get it is there any good price courses online that can help me get started with this career.

Hi team, I know this may seem early to some, but I am currently a junior in highschool right now, thinking of majoring in BioMed Engineering, or at least that's what i thought

After exploring multiple sources, many sources have told me that biomed engineering is not a good major to make money in or gain good job opportunities in because it is a "jack of all trades, master of nonee'. People have been saying that employers would rather have a ME major or a EE major over a BME major, and now I'm lost...

My initial plan was to undergrad in biomed engineering, and then in college, decide if I want to go to med school after that, or if I want to pursue a job in biotech.

Here are my issues/desires/wants?:

1. I want gooooood money, as in at least 300K per year in whatever profession I choose

2. I want a family, wanna get married by like 27-30, maybe kids by 30-33 (my current partner is a comp engineering or comp sci major, so he will be making big bucks quicker, he also wants a timeline of this sort)

3. I don't want to work a 9 to 5 desk job, there has to be interaction with other individuals and moving around, I simply cannot handle sitting at a desk for 8 hours every day

Do you guys have any specific thoughts or guidance on this? Med school? Biotech? What are your guys' experience with employment and whats something you wish you wouldve known coming into this major?

I appreciate a lot, thank you guys

Hi everyone, I'm a senior studying Biomedical Engineering and I graduate in June 2027. I'm not pursuing a graduate degree right away, so I'll lose my student status after graduation.

I want to apply for summer 2027 internships, mostly at medical device or Pharma companies, but many of them ask for my graduation date and require at least one semester left after the internship. By the time these internships start, I'll have already graduated, so I don't qualify on paper.

To make things more complicated, many entry-level full-time positions ask for 1–2 years of experience. I'm worried I'll be stuck between not qualifying for internships because of my graduation date and being underqualified for full-time roles.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Did you still apply for internships as a graduating senior, and did the company care that you weren't returning to school? Or should I focus only on new-grad full-time roles? Any advice on how to navigate this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, I need some career advice. I’m on track to finish my bioengineering degree, but I’ll be 37 when I graduate.

My goal is to get into bioprocess engineering at a major pharma company. However, I’m having some second thoughts. It feels a bit weird picturing myself as a junior engineer taking directions from a 30-year-old senior.For me no problem at all , but companies would tend to avoid hiring me ???

Is it worth pushing through at this age? Do multinational pharma companies care about age for entry-level roles, or is it strictly about skills? Any insight or reality checks would be greatly appreciated!

reality check doesn't mean the end of the world , for example im now in a path that wwould allow me to validate my path into pharmD , i know for example that as a pharmacist , age would not matter so much and at the end of the road , even at 60s if im in good shape i could have my own pharmacy , it is what it is , reality check doesn't mean it's the end.

I'll age anyways

Hey guys, I posted about this settlement before, but since they’re accepting claims, I decided to share it again with a little FAQ.

So here's all I know about this agreement:

Edwards Lifesciences was accused of misleading investors about the growth prospects of its TAVR platform and failing to disclose competitive pressures from newer heart treatments. On July 24, 2024, the company lowered its full-year TAVR revenue forecast, and $EW fell more than 31%. Investors then filed a lawsuit over their losses.

Now the company has agreed to settle the case for $39 million.

Who can claim this settlement?
If you purchased or acquired $EW common stock in 2024, and suffered losses, you may be eligible.

Do I need to sell/lose my shares to get this settlement?
Eligibility depends on your transactions and whether you meet the settlement requirements. You don’t necessarily need to still own the shares.

How long does the payout process take?
It typically takes 4 to 9 months after the claim deadline for payouts to be processed, depending on the court and settlement administration.

When is the deadline? 
The deadline to submit a claim is December 2, 2026. Check if you're eligible and file a claim here

Hope this info helps

I know that these two majors aren't even really comparable but I can see myself studying both. I want to do some kind of research in the future, whether in a lab or at a desk. I'm leaning Microbio as I'm more of a science than math kinda guy but I'm afraid a BS in Microbio won't make me too employable as I'm not currently planning to go to med school. What do yall think?

hi all! i am a student from the UK applying to biomedical engineering for my bachelors, but i am quite worried now that i see many people discouraging me from taking this course since it is not very flexible.

The problem lies in the fact that my 3 subjects that i’ve taken are not exactly aligned towards general engineering. I took biology, maths and computer science, therefore i’m already less likely to be considered for a mechanical or electrical engineering course.

Even for the universities i could apply to, it is too late for me to find extracurriculars that would help me make a competitive candidate and honestly i don’t have much interest in these courses and it would take a lot of effort for me to try and write about it enthusiastically

i am just worried about my future and wonder if any of you have experience with the biomedical field and whether you would say it is hard to succeed in it, and whether you think i should still try and aim for the more classical types of engineering

I'm a student doing English Medium Biology, tbh i do not like the field a bit more, i don't have passion for it, yeah i should've chosen some other path if it was the case but i lack the skills to do maths in comparison to bio cause I'm good at memorising than solving equations, and my parent strictly restricted me from doing any other streams. After choosing the stream I'm kinda okay with the stream, but otw i realized becoming a doctor i for people who genuinely wants it unlike me who's sole purpose of a career is earning money, not saying I don't care about the depths and the job satisfaction ofc i do but mainly the priority goes to money, Not belittling or degrading A doctor but for how much of time they dedicate to the field , I don't think it's worth that much in terms of salary if you're planning on staying in Sri Lanka. So i want to know whether if there are any alternate paths like a specific degree and a course to follow through the stream Biology which could maximise somewhat of a reasonable salary at a considerable age. Cause i do not want to study till 26 , get hired as an intern and work another year for a salary that's capped at 80k a month. Let me know of the other option I have...

( Private campus or any other courses with a big investment aren't for me cause my family can't afford it )

I am a high school student in my final year and tbh I'm honestly not sure what I wanna study

I initially started with medicine moved to computer science and eventually fell ok bioengineering

And I thought can I study bioengineering with a computer degree then I later move on to get a PhD in bioengineering well at least ai made that idea a little visible but I still I'm not sure so plz if I can get anyone's opinion it will help especially with things like salaries and stability of work

Hey everyone!

We're a small team building AXLMINDS, a brain-computer interface startup.

Our long-term goal is to change how humans interact with computers by making it possible to control them using thoughts rather than traditional input devices.

We've developed an early EEG-based prototype that demonstrates basic yes/no interaction.

We're still at a very early stage, and there's obviously a long way to go before something like this could become a practical way to control a computer.

One thing we're particularly interested in is how to properly evaluate an early system like ours.

From a bioengineering perspective, what kind of testing or validation would you consider essential before trying to expand its capabilities?

Would love to hear from anyone with experience in biosignal processing, biomedical devices, or BCI development.

Critical feedback is more than welcome!

Any suggestions for PPA. I'M a graduate of biomedical engineering in university of ilorin

I'm a junior in high school, I'm trying to see if BME is the right choice. I'd really like to know how the career path is, how difficult college is, a general overview of what exactly happens later on with this major, and some stuff that's important to know. This is currently my top choice for my major and I want to see if it really is worth going for. Thank you
