Career Journal #4 Activity 2.3.4
1) Biomedical Engineer
2) Need a bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering from an
accredited program to enter the occupation, OR you can get a bachelor’s degree
in a different field of engineering and then either get a graduate degree in
biomedical engineering or get on-the-job training in biomedical
engineering.
3) Analyze and design solutions to problems in biology and
medicine, with the goal of improving the quality and effectiveness in patient
care. Usually work full time in manufacturing, universities, hospitals, research
facilities of companies and educational and medical institutions, teaching, and
government regulatory agencies.
4) $81,540 per year, $39.20 per
hour

6) This career can relate to Anna Garcia’s case study because
maybe a biomedical engineer was the one who helped design a tool or device to
help make Anna’s diabetes easier to deal with. I like this career because I can
see how helpful and useful it is, especially how important it is for people with
disabilities. I would not want to pursue this career because I am not really
into designing the “next new thing in the life of medicine,” but maybe it’s
because I haven’t really considered going into this. I do find it interesting
enough to pursue, though, if something else doesn’t work
out.
Career Journal #5 Activity 3.1.1: Blood Detectives
1) Phlebotomist
2) Must have a high school diploma or G.E.D. with acceptable
training in a Phlebotomy Training Course program available at many colleges and
schools. Each state decides certification /licensing
requirements.
3) Draw blood from patients or donors in hospitals, blood banks,
clinics, doctor offices, laboratories or similar facility for medical
purposes.
4) Salary varies depending on experience, education and skill
level. Phlebotomy technicians are typically paid hourly and it varies by state,
shift, schooling and experience. Typical hourly wages for a hospital are $12.50
and for a physician office laboratory $13.00.

6) A phlebotomist could relate to what we are studying right now because they
could draw out Anna Garcia’s blood to run tests on it. I actually like this
career (my friend wants to be one), but I think I would get bored easily, and
if given the option, which I do have an option, I would rather not spend my
time poking people and sucking their blood out. :)
