標題Re: [問題] 向讀醫工的前輩們請益

我個人的經驗是,如果你想要在美國找跟醫藥相關的業界工作
我比較不建議特別跑去讀醫工
醫工讀的比較雜也比較窄,不如讀化工,材料,機械或是電機底下偏生物工程的研究
在業界的BME大部分都不是讀BME出來的
BME博士找到的工作,很多也是跟原來做的研究根本打不著關係。
但是你如果要讀BME的話要有的體認是:
雖然你好像會被訓練成十八般武藝都會,但是你的化學不會比讀化學的強
生物生化phisiology也不會比讀biochem/biology或是MD畢業的強
數學跟結構概念不會比化工機械的強
你一定要守住至少一個強的,然後慢慢彌補其他的(有缺再補)
如果要讀博士的話,選對老師跟選有興趣的領域比選學校重要多了。
但是醫工博士就要有做無限久的 postdoc 的準備
如果想要去業界工作的話,做個要寫論文的MS就好了。
還有啊,雜誌上寫的不要太相信。
以上是我大學讀化學,研究所讀化工(drug delivery/Tissue Engineering)
以及在美國醫藥界 六年+ 的經驗談

: As far as biomedical engineering, it can be good or bad. As you know the
: economy in the whole world is very difficult right now. If you want to know
: my advice I would say the difference between making it a good thing or a bad
: thing it depends on how much effort you put into it. I would suggest spending
: as much time at the school as possible...do your classes slowly and really
: concentrate on working on projects. Try to get a job with one of your
: professors doing research with them...do internships in the summer. Dont try
: to finish your masters degree as fast as you can. There are a lot of jobs for
: biomedical especially for USC graduates but the companies want to see work
: experience. Take the minimum amount of classes you are required each term and
: spend as much time as you can working for your professors and doing
: internships. The professors are always needing students to do work for them.
: Dont be afraid to ask them to help! Even if they dont need they often know of
: other professors who need help! If you do this it will be really good. If you
: just take your classes and get your masters it will not be nearly as valuable!
: A masters and this kind of work experience and you will be able to get a job
: no problem!!!!
: 所以說多花點時間在課業與實驗室上才是王道嗎?
