How to Become a Medical Equipment Repair Technician_

[@jhaas68865]

I have been working on medical equipment for 25+ years now and I find it funny they don't mention the easiest way to get into the field. Join the military. You can have almost all your college requirements met short of general studies and also have work experience during your time.

[@kimmyrodriguez3714]

Hello, I came across your comment and I was wondering if I could pick your brain. What military branch and career did you choose for your experience ?

[@jhaas68865]

kimmy rodriguez I was Air Force and it was called biomedical equipment technician. The only branch that doesn’t have it is the Marines since the Navy does it for them.

[@Kencival]

Sure this job pays well, but you have to make sure you actually enjoy it. You are working on equipment that could be a life support system for someone’s daughter or an incubator on a friends newborn. Don’t do it for the money because with the high pay comes the high risk.

couple questions , im looking into being a BMET , would getting a certificate from a trade school still lead me to a good salary ? or do I need a bachelor?

[@BetterBiomedChannel]

@@LevyVisuals A certificate will get you an entry level BMET job. The path to making great money in this career is learn, volunteer, move to another bmet position every 3-5 years and learn some more. $65k -$80k can be achieved with as little as 5-6 years work experience.

[@Kencival]

Michael Levy a certificate is good. I went through the army so it was worth it

[@RustyShacklefourd]

Ken B hey can I email you and ask you some questions about Bmet? Especially on the military side. My email is [e-mail]

[@Makeitgreat1]

Be very careful if picking this as a career. Must throughly look at pros and cons, and most importantly career advancement.

You can make way more than 46k, try more like 70k +

Sir I am from a Doctors family. But I am an electronics engineer, completed my Post graduation in VLSI designing but I have tremendous interest in medical- engineering and medical equipments. What degrees or courses do I need to do now? Do I need to do a complete degree course of Biomedical engineering? Or just some proper internship? If internship then from where? Could you guide me please. I am from Nagpur India. And we don't have proper guidance available in India, except for wholesalers and dealers of medical equipments.

Excellent video.

[@brandonplank4233]

@@niddha9764 You should be in BioMedical Technology if you are interested in continuing engineering. The BMET program is strictly repair and preventative maintenance

[@phluxuation6608]

@@jimcrawford3259 The field is very, very specialized. General biomed entry level, for example, is about 44k / year. If you go into imaging, you may get 80k - 200k depending on your specialty. One of my coworkers does x-ray imaging and gets about 85k, while my other coworker works on 24/7 cath labs and gets about 160-200k yearly. Working cath labs can be a literal 24 hour shift though. My coworker got called for an issue right after he ended his shift and had to go back in until 4am and then come back in at 8am for his regular shift.

[@chemeros]

I am looking to go ahead and study biomedical technology or biomedical engineering. However I may have to wait at least two years before college is an option. What would be a good one or two year (lower) courses I could do to support my CV?

[@chemeros]

And are there any alternative bachelor's degrees that would qualify me in the same field. I would more prefer to go into the pharmaceutical laboratory side of things . I'm just a bit confused
