Your literally one of the few biomedical engineers on youtube and ur day in the life video was extended informative
If u see this I'm currently studying biomedical engineering and I really love n enjoy the course bit I want to work in a field that allows work with patients rather than fixing hospital equipments any suggestions
@@alimaxwell4560 thank you Ali! I would suggest looking up the top medical device companies in your area of interest and seeing what they require when hiring field specialist.
Thank you so much for making videos about biomedical engineering! I'm a sophomore majoring in biomedical engineering currently having a crisis about career searching 😅 it can be so difficult to find answers and personal experience in this field!
Look to the comments in You tube videos..my specifically I did research and found its was better for me to switch to ME because all the ME upperclassman were telling me they get jobs all the medical devices jobs..they were rights..really reading the comments of these videos helps you give you the full picture..the BME field is very very narrow still.....
Your positive and calm energy is incredible!!!! Especially given such a demanding career
Oh my goodness, you should most definitely post your awards; they show how awesome you are! Thanks for making & sharing BME vid. for us all!
Really like how you’re sharing your experiences about your job..really amazing and thank you..
Seeing a lot of comments about how they just stumbled upon these videos and I have to say as a current engineering student this video as well as ur “day in the life of a biomedical engineer” was really relieving to see field work in engineering as opposed to just office settings. Thank you for the insight!!!
I just adore your videos. They are relaxing and entertaining. Plus, your voice is very calming. Because you're real and transparent, which is rare, it makes your vlogs that more appealing. Looking forward to your next video.
Thank you Keri! much love ♥️💕
I just found your channel and I love it. I'm in 10th grade and thinking about what I want to do. My options were all across the board and this gave me insight to one of the ideas I had
xInteresting to hear more about this. Stay happy and safe xx
I just found this channel and I literally sooo glad!
You are a beutiful soul MashaAllah, I can see it through your eyes ! Thank you for sharing your story. I am currently studying to be a Biomedical engineer, and your story gave me extra booth to pursue my goal 🤗
Dang, I came into BME wanting to do the prosthetics. But then I was interested into stem cell engineering and now am pursuing that field. Cardiac regeneration specifically.
@Fariz nazir..Hello I am yashasvini from India.. I am a ug engineering student now. I want to know more about your field like what course you do.. What subjects you study... How you work life looks like... And many more questions... So.. If you could help me please dm me... My mail id yashasvini.s2001@gmail.com
hi, i literally just stumbled on your video. Im a 16 yr old British student and i couldnt decide whether i wanted to do medicine or engineering. Your proffesion seems like something i would possibly want to do . Thanks for uploading, i just subscribed. I live in Nairobi , Kenya by the way. I also just subscribed!
British student aswell couldn't decide between medicine n engineering so I'm now doing biomedical engineering at a uk university if u decide u really want to do medicine after u can do it as a second degree n ull only b a year behind ppl who did medicine straight out of school n also have 2 degrees
thank you and welcome! :)
OMG same, I’m a grade 11 student that can’t decide whether to do medicine or engineering. I’m looking up for different professions right now cuz by the end on June I should have a final decision. Btw, I’m from the Philippines :)
@@sleepysnout5303 me too!!
Ali Maxwell SAME about the medicine and engineering part! When I found out biomedical engineering was a thing I went crazy for it, since then I’ve been researching about it no stop
great video. love your approach
Good day Girl!!! Love Ya!!! 🖤
Yayyy you uploaded!! Had been binge watching !! In a nutshell, you're beautiful and a real brain!! Am in 3rd week of intermit. fasting-LOVE it-and yr vids gave me more insight! Looking forward to yr vlogs!!
yay thank you! So glad to hear that you're enjoying intermittent fasting, keep it going!
Kudos to your videos! I like your vlogs. I'm also a biomedica engineer by training and working at a hospital right now as a postdoc. Go BMEs!
Heyyy I am yashasvini from India... Currently I am an undergraduate student... I want to know more about BME and I also love to work in hospitals I have a lot to know about your work life and all the courses you did... So if you could please help me dm me on my mail id @yashasvini.s2001@gmail.com
You're so hilarious 😂 why did I find this channel just now?
I’m on that part of school where i have to choose my career and this really helped thank you
Thanks for video keep going 🤠 greeting from Morocco
OMG! I also worked on making nerve conduits in my PHD! that is cool!
Interesting that you've been exposed to research (and even potential spin-off stuff!). Yeah, I can imagine it's not for everyone. I also spend long days in the lab sometimes, but it really goes in waves, and it's so dependent on which lab you end up in as the techniques and core research can vary a lot of course.
And yeah, I guess this is the general paradox for every starter out of school, not just biomed engineering though, that they ask for some experience... but how can you if you're just out of school right? So I advise my viewers to take in as much lab experience and placements as they can to highlights this (perhaps already on a LinkedIN profile for example)...
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Yes, the amount on entry level jobs that required 2+ yrs of experience was mindblowing 😑
Greetings. I'm one of your subscribers! Thanks so much for sharing this with us! I'm a Hospitalist PA in Washington, D.C. I greatly appreciate what you guys do!😊 I have SO many patients with artificial valves, pace makers, stents, etc. You guys are life savers! My son is pursuing a degree in Biomedical Engineering.
So many super heroes in the world ❤️❤️❤️ we salute you Wonder Woman
Thanks for making such content have a nice day
Am a biomedical engineering student I've liked your videos.
The prettiest eyes on youtube 😍 keep doing your thing!
wow, thank you 😊
Thanks for the info. Dr.Rik, MDD
Hey could you perhaps do a video on what your role is through this pandemic that we have right now.. Are biomedical engineers also responsible for creating vaccines and testing them out? I love your channel its been so hard to find videos where we actually get to see the daily you know routine to the job.. Its really helpful ❤️
Thank you so much for making this video. I've been trying to decide on one major for university, and with pre admission in October for me, I've been getting more stressed recently. I decided on biomedical engineering but whenever I look at everything else I start to wonder if this would be for me so this video helped me gain more insight about what I would want. Is it alright if I email you with questions about your profession. Once again thank you!
Thank you for the information! I am in high school currently and am passionate about the health care feild and know i want to do something with it in my future. Before deciding if I want to major in bio med engineering, is it common for engineering companies to hire high school interns and if so what do the interns do. i was also wondering if you had any good internships or classes you took in high school that made you decide you wanted to go into the engineering feild.
Hi
I'm interested in this major but I'm not good at computing. Is it very important to know it?
-For how long did the course take?
-Where can I work with the BME degree?
- Do you have holiday and vacation?
Thank you so much for making this channel! I hope one day I can thank you for all those great tips! Do you recommend going for internships or co-op to get that industry experience you were suggesting?
Yes! Definitely go for internships and co-ops during your college years. Not only will it help you network and get connections within the industry, it will help you figure out the kind of jobs you enjoy.
Hi! Thank you so much for making this video, as it provided a lot of clarity. I’m a senior biomedical engineering major with one more year left and I still have a few questions for you regarding how you were able to narrow your job field down to the cardiac division. How long were you in undergrad and do you have any suggestions for those who are close to graduating? Did you only apply to one post graduate job? How much were you paid as an entry level engineer and did you have any internships while in undergrad? What do they check for in the interviews like the specific questions if you roughly remember any? Also, Do you have an email address that we can reach you at? I know these are a lot of questions but I’d love the answers for each of them. Thank you for being a BME and good luck!
You are so smart..👌
I'm watching all ur vidoes😭😭
Hi Rah,
My name is Shani and I’m currently a sophomore studying biomedical sciences and I’m interested in medicine and in biomedical engineering! I’m so glad I stumbled upon your page today 😊! What did you major in for undergrad and how long did you spend in graduate school? Thanks so much for making this video!!
I actually only did an undergrad degree in BME, I also started a masters in BME but didn't complete it (because money lol 😣). My goal was to go back and complete it but after landing my current job and getting their certifications and sign off (and the experience) I dont see it as necessary in my career.
@@theadventuresofrah thank you so much for sharing and making videos!!!!
Thank you, that was really informative!!
Do you think it would be easier to find a job, if you've studied biomedical science and then go from that to BME?
hi...you are so natural, that is why i like watching you. we are the same. we dont wear make up. we speak naturally. i just found someone like me.
Your videos have been very useful, i am aspiring to become a biomedical eng but my family says the pay and promotion opportunities isnt much. It wld be very helpful if you share your salary range and at what position you work currently. Thank you so much
I’m majoring in biomedical engineering ♥️♥️♥️
do you recommend biomedical engineering?
I just came upon your videos!! They are absolutely great(: I am a senior in high school whose dream is to pursue biomedical engineering. However, I am going to a community college to pursue computer science instead... Any advice for me?
I loved your video so much! Where did you study?
Hi,
I'm guessing you're a CRM rep? Bsci? I work in EP as well, ablation side and I relate to what you do
Iam biggest fan ...
Iam Gokul from Tamilnadu India
Thanks
Hi
Is biomedical engineering really hands on considering your specific work position. Also, can you tell me about the work environment and wether it is time consuming and stressful?
Hello Rah, so I am CAD designer for a civil engineering firm, but I am making plans to get back into college this Fall. I read in one of the comments you stated if you would go back you would study mechanical engineering. Why is that? How different are these 2 degrees pertaining to your field? I am definitely torn between the two.
Thanks.
hello!
I’m an undergrad majoring in BME but I was wondering if you were in the pre-med program or was that something not offered to you?
Hello! I would really like to get a bachelors degree in Germany and work as a biomedical engineer in the future. Doing my research, I’ve found out that there are almost no biomedical engineering undergraduate degree programs in Germany so I’ve resorted to make studying something else and then getting a Masters in BME my second option. What do you recommend someone study as a bachelors in a situation like mine?
Hi!!! My dream job is also biomedical engineering...and I'm glad I came to this channel !!... I'm still in high school (lol I have big dreams) and now I had to choose my subjects for year 10... but I'm not sure what I chose could lead to my career...this is what I chose...
Physics, biology, health and design...
plz, it would be great to have any advice if I have to change any subjects Thank you!!!
Are you British? I’m doing my a-levels with the idea of doing some soft of engineering. I do biology, physics and maths and like the idea of biomedical engineering. If you’re in yr 10 I’d recommend just keep working hard at sciences and maths.
@@dalilacacho8441 hello !! I was in the UK but I'm studying in Australia at QLD I kinda changed the design to chemistry (i love science) and I'm working hard at it in all of my science and maths(gosh it's a lot of hard work)
thank you for your advice!!!
Thank you for your channel~ Did you have to work on lots of projects during uni, and study a loooot? Did you have to write lots of research papers too? And what do u think of the salary hahah :)
Hey there! I’m still in high school but I’m really interested in what you do. I’ve been looking around and can’t find a job like yours, so I was wondering what your job title is? Is it biomedical engineer? Medical devices sales rep? Or something different?
The title is called clinical specialist and sometimes cardiac device specialist or even field clinical engineer. You don't necessarily need to be a biomedical engineer to become a device rep. Some hires are RNs or tech with cardiac field experience. However, I've noticed a trend in hiring BME for these positions recently. Hope this helps!
Mam I really want to seek guidance from you. I am in 11th and I am looking forward to carry on my career in biomedical engineering but I am totally blank have no idea . Can u plzz help me??
I am a class of 2020 senior and i am thinking about going to biomedical engineering school, any advice about it or how can i find information about the programs? BTW i love your videos, just subscribed!!
Hey girl ! I just came across your video and channel. Your videos seem very helpful; I’m gonna binge watch them lol! I’m gonna be a senior next semester and I’m pursuing Biomedical engineering as well. I wanted to ask you some specific questions about your job. Do you have Instagram or is it okay if I could get your email or add you on linked in ?
hi! I'm actually considering to go to a biomedical engineering major, but i just have one question in mind. Does the major focus more on math, science, or on what other subject?
Depends on your college program, but at my university there was a balance of both since it is an engineering degree. I took every math from college algebra to calculus 3 and differential equations. Some linear algebra. And I started my freshman year with biology, then chemistry 1 & 2, organic chemistry, anatomy and physiology, genetics, immunology, etc. Most of my sciences were electives that I got to choose but the basic sciences like O.chem and bio are required and unique to BME majors.
@@RemindMeToRead I wanna do biomed so bad but I’m just so worried but the job prospects where I live :(
Your videos are so helpful but can I be a biomedical engineer even if I'm not good at designing and creating machines and does this field have a lot of job opportunities ?
Im currently doing electrical and computer systems engineering and will be graduating soon. I had a few projects on electrical medical devices and programming on medical scans and i found it to be where my interest is. So Im thinking of pursuing bme career. In your opinion, would you say medical or biological background is a major advantage?
Hi, I'm a Biomedical engineer too (both bachelor's and master's). I have a question: what do you mean when you say that biomedical engineering gives you all the pre-requisites to access med school? I mean, do you have to get a bachelor's and master's and then you can go to med school? Maybe it's confusing to me because I'm not from the US and I do not entirely know how the education system at the university level works. Here where I live you can go to either engineering or med school but choosing one doesn't necessarily give you any plus/requisites to get into the other
Lorenzo Alloni here in the US you need a bachelors degree before getting into med school so you have a whole diploma before being able to study to be a doctor or a lawyer ...
Can you tell us what college you went to? I’m a sophomore on a college search and an all engineering college sounds awesome😁!
I went to Stevens Institute of Technology. Good luck on your college search!
@@theadventuresofrah do you have any idea about any full scholarship for international students in Ur country or in Stevens institute of technology college
I don't know if I should follow biomedical engineering or biomedical sciences, which one will have the most impact on human health and longevity?
biomedical enginering is going to be more promising and more entrepreneurial opportunities in the future, right?
biomedical engineering is the most suitable for medical nanorobos (that will help us, being within our bloodstream) and machine-person interface/ upload the mind to a computer?
which one will have the most impact on cryonics, to conserve humans to resurrect later?
in short: will human health and longevity be closer to science or technology?
What is the typical salary as an in field biomed engineer? Your attitude and perspective to this career is refreshing. Your videos are genuine and its nice to hear about the story that started all of this. If there was any other major/ career out there that you would like to pursue what would it be?
My starting salary as entry level was $65k. I think that is the range my colleagues who graduated in BME with me had as well. And obviously your salary goes up the more you progress in your career and gain more experience. As for pursuing another major in the STEM field I would have done mechanical engineering but my dream job has always been acting hahaha
@@theadventuresofrah hahah thats why you do acting classes! Honestly what is so great about you is that it seems like even when you've committed to one thing, you still have other goals in mind too. Did you ever audition anywhere ?
Hello. I am an international student and I was to do BME as my premed. Right now I am in full IB (international baccalaureate) and I do Chem HL, Biology HL and Math HL. Do I need to take Physics Hl? We aren’t allowed to do 3 sciences
would you please tell us which courses or diplomas would be best to get a job in hospital sector or in which course should a biomedical graduate mostly spent a time in learning?
my mom is also a biomedical engineer!! she works at a corporate type of job and i would love to do biomedical but want to work at a hospital!
i wanna be one when i’m older omgg!! and did she still have to take CNA classes in order to become a biomedical engineer?
@@cvs3740 im not sure lol because she lived in asia when she finished and moved here afterwards but u should look into it :)
diyaa k oh that’s cool!! i’m definitely looking into it and i wonder if it’s a good paying job even though i bet it is :))
oh my word, I have been looking for someone who is an engineer but has a coporate type job its what i've been looking into but I just did not know what I could do or how, did your mom study something else after biomedical engineering and what was it also what type of company does she work for or position. Apologies if it seems like a lot of questions im just really excited at the thought that I could find what I can study because I've been struggling!(in my last year of high-school) Also if you dont feel comfortable answering its understandable but thank youu.
❤️
How do you get a job like this in the medical field? This is exactly what I am hoping to do with my BME degree but i feel like it is very difficult to not be working in an office setting as an engineer.
My daughter applied to different university to study bioengineering. She is having a hard time trying to decide which one to choose. She is accepted in Penn State University, Ohio State University, Michigan State University and University of Pittsburg. Do you have any input on any of these schools for this major?
How can i contact you:(?
Its necessary..

Hi Rah, thank you for sharing, is the company you work for biotronik? :), I am a biomedical engineer who is been trying to get into field clinical specialist role, it has been tough to break into. I had series of interviews, even one with stryker with gallup and everything for a neuro scanner device , I am just really about give up on this goal or maybe go back to school for something else, I am getting discourage with my degree in biomedical engineering, as you know it was a lot work to get it done, but your videos are hopeful. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
No, not biotroniks but thats the industry I'm in. I'm so sorry its been tough for you. . .I know it is a difficult industry to crack into and can be very discouraging. When I was interviewing, my current company was the only one that I heard back from. I know for cardiac devices there are certain certification programs that train on their basic functions and programing and they might help make your resume look more attractive? Also a lot of part time/ contract work can turn into a full time job opportunity.
@@theadventuresofrah , hi Rah, thank you so much for the reply and the tips, I truly appreciate it very much! I have look into those programs, such ATI and Prep MD, for cardiac pacing certifications, still thinking about it, due the cost of the program is quite is a lot, right now due to covid a lot of my job applications are on hold, lots of companies are on hiring freeze at the moment. It's really tough, especially when you are just starting. I truly enjoy your videos, it's nice that someone is out there, like you, representing how it is to work in our field, especially as clinical specialist, I wish you all the best! :)
Jesan Kristine Suasin it is such a difficult time so don’t take it too hard on yourself! I truly believe that things work out well in the end. Take it easy and stay healthy ☺️
The Adventures of Rah , thank you so much , that’s what my mom told me too ☺️, thank you rah ! You stay safe as well too , especially around this time. ☺️
I honestly understand how you’re feeling. I’m in the same situation. I graduated 5months ago and I’ve interviewed with so many companies even GE and I didn’t hear anything back. I really I’m getting tired too so I understand you. If you want us to link up please let me know maybe we can help each other out or give each other emotional support when we feeling down. And yes Covid-19 just made it harder.
Hi I accidentally noticed this video while i was looking for some information .Im a undergraduate student and im doing a biomedical engineering degree . Im searching for a path for my masters, I could take technology or bioscience , BUT I think im not a lab person, I love to work in a hospital , just like you. Im confused which way i should take to get there, can you give me some information about that?
What's your opinion on doing a bachelor of mechanical engineering before doing a masters of biomedical?
hi, i am currently a biomedical science bachelors student but very interested in becoming a biomecial engineer. Is there any way to get into this with my current degree or do i need specific engineer training? thanks
So like when you graduate you would apply for a job at a hospital?
what are some of the machines that you worked with ?
Hi, i am planning to get a phd in BME. Thank u.
I was wonder if chemistry compulsory for biomedical engineering? Because I am going to study A-level and I am bad in chemistry 🥲
1. Is it true that BME is not well payed comparing to other engineering fields
2. Are you more a mechanical BME or an electrical BME
3. Is the "design" and "production" field of BME accessible to all BME students? Or is it only the nerds that can get into the design field
4. Thank you for your videos !!!!!
1. I'm not quite sure. I know other engineering fields can definitely make more but I won't think it the worse. For reference my salary (as well as my colleagues who graduated with me in BME) was around $65K for an entry level position with no experience.
2. Neither and both lol just a general BME with a bit of experience in both
3. yes I would say so. . .of course you grades, type of courses, and your internship experiences play a big part. But if its a goal or career aspiration then you can definitely work to optimize your resume to make it happen.
4. Thank you for watching!
Hi, I am in an engineering class at school and I can give a little insight on your first question based on what I know. All fields of engineering have different pay from 50k to 100+k. Biomedical Engineering isn't low nor high it all depends on where you work. You could made 58k or 115k.
Do you have a Instagram dedicated to your TH-cam page ?
