Really hard to find any job that specifically require biomedical degree, such as science officer@research officer position normally they will open to several other courses such as microbiology, biochem etc. so u have to fight with other people from diff courses for the same position. Biomedical lack of focus on something, jack of all trade,master of none. U can use ur flexibility as biomedical graduates to enter into many other post grad courses, become expert on something such as invitro fertilization, natural products or many others in order to make urself more valuable. Speaking from my own experience, currently i'm finishing my master on computational chemistry with application on sensor, previously working as SO for natural products, b4 that i'm doing works on endophytes as RA and yes, i'm biomedical graduates

There is no such thing as Biomedical Officer..if u grad from pharmacy, medic, dental, optometry..the job already waiting for u, unlike biomedical grad. What i meant by lack of focus is, after u grad, u have no expertise on something, u do learn pharmacology, physiology, microbiology, biochemistry etc. BUT u are not the expert on those specific subject.There is specific course for microbiology, biochemistry, pharmacy and those graduate become expert on their field. eg When a company want to hire a microbiologist, u also can say u can do microbe but microbiology graduate will have the advantages here, unless the company want to hire multi-skill worker such as microbiologist+biochemist, biomedical graduates do have advantage..My master do involve some quantum+analytical chemistry, i'm doing my master at Department of Chemistry, like i said, biomedical graduates very flexible..one more, sales executive become one of the most popular job for biomed grad...if u really like selling stuff

Yes i know that one, Pegawai Sains Bioperubatan aka pegawai histologi..i went to the interview last year..they only require your knowledge on histology@cell science, not biomedical as a whole

QUOTE(touix @ Feb 13 2014, 02:39 PM) Come on man. Do you know what are the job scope of a Biomedicine Science officer? Different lab applies different specialty. Some even focuses on subspecialty. Your interview clearly shows that they need manpower in histology/pathology lab. Internal transfers between labs is common. I wouldn't be surprised if you end up in blood banks after few years. The interviewer clearly said the Biomedical Science officer actually for Histo lab only, i ask them that question because i did my major in biochemistry and microbiology. I thought maybe becoz no other courses that teach Histology. That post still new that time, during my intern no such thing as Biomedic officer, the nearest one is Pegawai sains C41/biochem, got one senior hold that position.

Why don't u enter pure science course? like Biology, Biotech, Biochem...a lot of other courses also can enter science field.
If u really want biomedical science, u should pursue master/phd after graduate, become expert on the field that u interested and land the job as researcher or become lecturer. I believe this is one of the best path for u if u really want biomed.
Best of luck
