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.
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?
