Hello ladies and gentlement.
I'm planning to take up Biomedical course. Unfortunately, I dont have any idea which University should i choose.
Can give some opinion?
Sure! See the banners on the left and right? brows.gif

MONASH University is ranked #1 in Australia and the top 50 in the world for 22 subjects. laugh.gif

Now, you just need to check if the Biomedical course is whether or not one of the 22 subject. icon_idea.gif

You can ask Farmer_C as well. icon_rolleyes.gif

No. Unless you do sales
So Biomed grads don't get to design the Biomedical equipment (in Malaysia) for commercial purpose? icon_question.gif

You can design whatever you want. The question is, can it sell well in Malaysia? I'm sure you don't see Made in Malaysia test kits or equipments in your lab, right?

He's asking about the DEMAND anyway. Definitely no demand. We are still lagging behind.
Good point! smile.gif Naturally to laymen, Biomedical Engineers are employed by health services, medical equipment manufacturers and research institutes to research, design and develop medical products for clients with special needs in a rehabilitation setting, or managing the use of clinical equipment in hospitals and the community.

So, are the Biomedical Engineering programs offered on demand like selling hot cakes in Malaysia, just to train the sales personnel? icon_question.gif

There's tons of programmes offered out there claiming that it is in demand but the fact is, it is not. Not in Malaysia that is. Same goes with Biomedical Engineering. Most of them ended up in the sales line. Not to say that it is offered just to train them for sales, but I'm sure you know well that the research and development field for biomedical-related is still far behind in Malaysia.

Also, with the kind of mentality we have "our product can never be as good as the foreign ones", who would want to purchase your equipment? Grass is definitely greener out there when it comes to this field.
This isn't entirely true because one of my Malaysian acquaintances named Adi (25+ yo), has invented a Multifunction Disposable Safety Syringe, called AD Syringe (AD = “Auto-Disable”). This product is marketed by Selia-Tek Medical Sdn Bhd, and currently sold in Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Middle East under the brand called “SOL-JECT® AD Syringe”. This patent-pending product is filed under World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) with Pub. No. [WO/2013/009166]. icon_rolleyes.gif
