It sounds like Track 3 is most relevant for you: www.ibms.org/registration/become-a-biomedical-scientist/track-3-non-accredited-degree-and-no-ibms-registration-training/

Hi, please visit our website with the full information on becoming a biomedical scientist www.ibms.org/registration/become-a-biomedical-scientist/

I have a higher natural diploma in Science Laboratory Technology, an associate member with the Nigerian Institute of Science Laboratory Technology and 5 years experience as a laboratory scientist. Can i register under HCPC or do I have to go through IBMS first

Hi @@FavourChiziaru visit www.becomeabiomedicalscientist.com to find out more information. If your course was not IBMS Accredited, then choose the 'non accredited' route.

Not just a bachelors degree, you would need to make sure your degree is IBMS accredited then you need to undertake a year in a lab to complete your training portfolio. This is usually done as part of an internship/placement year between your 2nd and 3rd year. After this is complete, you then apply for HCPC registration and then you will be eligible to work in a hospital as a Biomedical Scientist.

In my country that is not enough, you have to finish either diploma (which takes 1year) or master (it takes 2 years) and then you can start your work. The thing is Biomed opens alot of doors for you, many people and companies want biomeds (cause we are professionals in the machine, we know to read them and maintain it) You can work at the hospital but also in another labs for other things. Also it depends if you are more interested in bacteria, viruses, hematology and more (you can choose which one you wanna be pro at) For example if you work for a private company developing a certain drug for heart diseases or cosmetics, yes even makeup). My biochem teacher was working with some biomed colleagues developing a cosmetic line, the cosmetics are only made from food. i.e. they take apple cut it in a small chemical compound and extract the vitamin E and use it in their products. If a kid or an animal consume it by any chance it is not going to be toxic, all natural! My acquaintance just finished her bachelor and is finishing master now in another country, she is developing drugs for brain and nervous system. Also you can work to develop food (yup food modification). You can become embryologist and you dont have to study extra years to become one cause you alread y have the knowledge about it! So many doors and opportunity but it is very challenging cause you got to understand what you are doing, your work practices has to be very good and exact which can ofc affect the results in the end, understand the machine how they work and how to maintain it is very important so you can get results that can be trusted. Understand and be good at writing reports also, finding ways to measure things cause sometimes this machine or technique is not good enough for example immunology. Some compounds cant be meassure unless you mix it with other things that can be meassure. You get wrong results and then you need to think why? is the sample messed up? Reactannts? Do I need to dilute my sample? Is the machine well maintain? And so on.

​@@ivanamilutinovic8378 after searching through the entire night sleepless , your comment is the only one comment that made me calm a lil bit 😢. Uhh i lost my chance to enter to medical school but my interest is to work in healthcare field i have no other choice than studying biomedical sciences under a government study loan . I'm too scared that i won't be able to find a job in BMS field 😢

@@ivanamilutinovic8378 thank you alot for this, I'm currently a sohpmore in highschool trying to figure out career plans and this deff helped me kind of figure out the direction I would want my life to go
