Biomedical Engineering: Another way to contribute in the healthcare sector, besides being a doctor!
If you visit a hospital, you will definitely find medical devices that doctors often use to help analyze diagnosis of the disease you are experiencing. You might be familiar with stethoscopes or tensimeters. Besides, there are also more sophisticated devices such as ultrasound (sonography), implants or artificial organs, lasers, physiotherapy medical rehabilitation devices, and many more.
Doctors often use these tools to assist them in diagnosing, analyzing, or providing therapy for patients. However, it is not actually the doctor who creates these tools, behind it there is a biomedical engineer who plays a role behind it. It is them who create and develop these devices to support patient health. In short, if you want to become a person who contributes to the healthcare sector, you can also become a biomedical engineer.
There are plenty of medical devices in Indonesia and all over the world, and we need biomedical engineers. Unfortunately, it is very difficult for the companies and hospitals to find them, since there have not been many experts in Biomedical Engineering in Indonesia. This can be seen as an interesting opportunity that you can take. Start now by studying Biomedical Engineering at SGU.
Biomedical Engineering is a study field that applies engineering principles to find the solution of problems in biology and medicine with the goal of improving health care. It combines basic sciences and engineering to develop, improve, and produce medical equipment or methodology. The applications are wide, such as medical instruments, rehabilitation and assisting devices, medical imaging, cell engineering, bioinformatics, and many more. Biomedical Engineering SGU will prepare you for these.
