Yes, a medical device doctor just about sums it up. People have no idea how many types and kinds and OEMs there are. It takes a passion for perfection that you don't find in most fields and often you just have to diagnose without any documentation, much less a schematic.

That is what makes the field so versatile as well. Techs can specialize in so many things and constantly have to digest more knowledge to keep up with new technology, limited resources, and like you mentioned possibly no service literature. I appreciate you watching the show!

Great insight on the BET profession!! I'd like your advise ... I work in a large healthcare organization in the Midwest in a support service position but, I'm looking to make a career change to BET. I have an Associates Degree but, wondering how I can become improve my education and experience to land a Biomed 1 position within my organization. Appreciate all of your feedback.

You can always apply to positions searching for a BMET 1. While an associates degree is great having biomed taught curriculum will open the door for you or go the route of the apprenticeship program

I booked this MOS for the army !! Can’t wait to start

Kick ass and takes names! There is some fantastic 68A leadership out there to guide you down the path. Word of advice: not all Army assignments are the same. Your experiences at a Forscom vs Medcom will be completely different. Bad leadership can be just as much as a teacher as good leadership. Let every situation mold you. There is opportunity at every turn if you keep a positive attitude and stay engaged. Also military life isn't for everyone so if you don't feel like doing 20 years that's OK. Wish you the best of luck and welcome to the Frey!
