No, you don’t actually have to be a biomed to work as one in Sweden. I have engineering background and I guess I’m pretty technical overall. I actually didn’t know there were biomeds at hospitals. I got sort of a test employment through a government program and they liked me so I got to stay.
I’m fortunate that I work for myself and kind of pick and choose the clients and jobs I work with. It’s nothing too taxing and I generally build higher level functionality into websites that sort of thing :)
Keeps the wolves from the door and food on the table !
Good one. Made me smile and being thankful for not being a programmer anymore.
What did you switch to?
First biomedical engineer at a hospital and now tech service for medical diagnostics and automation.
How did you make the switch? Going back to uni?

You left the fold!! What did you move into if you don’t mind me asking :)
I pretty much had to. Burned out completely. Took years to even think about working again. But enough about me, what’s up with you these days? :D
Right, your question. First BioMed at a hospital and then tech service for analytics and automation. See my answers elswere in the thread as well.
Ahhh gotcha and understandable.
