They strive towards attaining perfection in the world of medicine and healthcare. They even try to enhance the life of the suffering patients. This course proves to be very handy for the career development of the students. When someone does his or her career planning, the scope of the career course has to be analyzed carefully.
However, the job prospects for bio-medical engineering course are really bright. There are several institutes that offer biomedical engineering courses in India.
Qualifications
Before enrolling in a biomedical engineering course, a candidate should pass the Higher Secondary or 10+2 examination with science as the main discipline. Biomedical engineering can be chosen as a special subject in engineering and a post-graduation degree can also be acquired. A flair for research coupled with excellent academic records can allow the candidate to obtain a doctorate degree from India or abroad.
Benefits
Biomedical engineering is a trendsetter in establishing a symbiotic relationship between engineering, medicine, biology, and physics. The main objective of the subject is to bring about an improvement in the overall quality of healthcare. Biomedical engineers can derive creative satisfaction by designing prosthetics, synthetic blood vessels, automated patient monitoring systems, blood chemistry sensors, ultrasound, and artificial intelligence for clinical decisions. State-of-the-art infrastructure helps engineers to delve profoundly into the highly regulated feedback mechanism at the genetic level and render humanitarian research activities.

Immense job opportunities in diverse spheres like medical equipments manufacturing, orthopedic and rehabilitation engineering, molecular, cellular and tissue engineering in public as well as in corporate sectors are available for the biomedical engineers in India. They can also be absorbed in hospitals to provide valuable advice on the status of medical equipments. Biomedical engineers can also engage themselves in research activities by working harmoniously with doctors in the field of computational mechanics, physiology, medicine and invent cutting - edge technology. They can also develop biomaterials to blend living cells and biomechanics and provide a match for living tissues. This domain of research work is regarded as the most sought after research and the jobs on offer bring with it a handsome pay package.
Scope abroad
There is a huge demand for biomedical engineers abroad. Clinical engineers who monitor and maintain the databases of medical instrumentation and work with physicians to adapt instrumentation for the specific needs of the physician and hospitals are most sought after in hospitals abroad. Rehabilitation engineers who develop hardware and software computer adaptations and provide cognitive aids to assist patients with memory impairment are also much sought after. Golden opportunities also await orthopedic engineers who improve the quality of life of patients by developing prosthetics, artificial limbs, hips and other organs.
