Biomedical Science - UCLan

Biomedical Science involves the study of the scientific basis of health and disease and plays an important role in modern medical care. The biomedical scientist fulfils a pivotal function within the health care system, as he or she is responsible for analysing and interpreting the various causes of disease. To do so, the biomedical scientist requires knowledge not only of basic scientific areas such as chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology and physiology, but also of specialised areas involved in various disease states. The UK delivered course is accredited by both the Health Professions Council (HPC) and the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS) as a preliminary qualification for employment in hospital pathology laboratories. The course is primarily designed for scientists wishing to work in diagnostic and research laboratories in hospitals and other medical institutions. However, it will also equip you well for work in toxicological and forensic laboratories, as well as those wishing to pursue a higher degree, or for a career in marketing and management within biomedical related industries. A year-long placement (sandwich) route is also available, and may be beneficial for those students seeking state registration with the IBMS and HPC in pursuit of a career as a biomedical scientist. In addition, students will have the opportunity to undertake studies for one semester in an American university. If you require top-up for a current non-accredited degree it is possible to achieve this via our part-time route, normally this would take one year of study, depending on the requirements decided by the IBMS for individual cases.

Hi Jake ,

Yes most Univ in united states may offer a combined MD/Ph.D degree as well. maybe if that helps you. You can be clinician as well as scientist at same time

[agnelovesya]

Yes, it's  quite hard and its hard to get into Medicine after since they accept about 20 post grads

[vedbhashinee]

I got an offer for biomedical science at York university(Canada) and also one for biochemistry.

Which one of the two do you think is the most appropriate to do medicine later on?
