My interest in Biomedical Science came about around four years ago when my dad was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. He was treated with an intense course of chemotherapy and during this time it had me thinking about how and why a mutation in a cell can grow and cause a tumour and also how chemotherapy treatment can destroy the mutated cells (along with some healthy cells) and cause a person to have side effects such as skin discolouration‚ hair loss‚ loss of appetite and a lowered immune system

In high school‚ I had the opportunity to learn about a number of different subjects‚ starting from introduction to engineering to world history. Out of the many choices‚ there was only one that captivated me: Biomedical science. When I walked into class on the first day of school‚ I saw a cadaver at the back of my classroom. My teacher had told the class to find out why this lady had died‚ and I was the first in my class to find out. The poor lady had died from a clogged artery. As a child I had

Many people elicit fear‚ even outrage when asked if genetically altering who we are is ethical. Biomedical enhancements are already here‚ so just saying no isn’t an answer. Biological enhancements have produced huge controversy and part of the problem is that many assume that if an enhancement utilizes some form of biotechnology (pills‚ genetic

watching the Discovery Channel on television. While watching‚ I was particularly in awe of how boundless the discovery of Science is. At the age of seventeen‚ I read “Exploring the Biomedical Revolution” by Howard Hughes Medical Institute. For me‚ the most intriguing part of the book were the stories behind every great biomedical discovery. I felt privileged to have an in-depth knowledge about symptoms of diseases like cystic fibrosis‚ Lyme disease and Malaria that I never knew existed. All the eye-catching

MRO’s and Medical Equipment Maintenance Upon entering the biomedical equipment program‚ I did not have a clue as to what to expect from industry as a technician. Now‚ I have at least a basic understanding of what my work will consist of as a biomedical equipment technician and how industry uses and manages biomeds of all capabilities. Any organization that deals with and treats patients does so through medical equipment that needs repair and maintenance to function properly. Maintenance

the "biomedical model of health" (no hyphen) is sort of open to interpretation and not always defined the same way. And generally speaking a biopsychosocial model is almost universally used. But when I think of a biomedical model is it practicing medicine to "fix" things with the view that medical problems are organic (physical) without considering anything else. Some times it is referred (in an insulting way) to as the biomechanical model. To some extent that is true since a biomedical model

difficult challenge. Although all of these courses proved to be great learning experiences I found the AP biology class to be the most delightful. Given my intense fascination with the field of medicine‚ it seemed only natural that I pursue a career in biomedical sciences. I began my undergraduate career at a community college in hopes of staying debt free for as long as possible. I did so by continuing to work as hard as I can and pushing through the obstacles that life has put in my path. Throughout
