Biomedical Science Society Thread

Hi

I've completed my Bsc Biomedical Science Degree and would advise anyone who wants to work in a lab to go for a Uni that has an acccredited Biomedical Science degree program as you will need this to be able to do your registration portfolio.
Im lucky i've worked in a lab for many years, now just finished my portfolio and trying to work out the indexing needed which if im honest is really hard work so try and do it as you go.

I feel your pain! I'm cross referencing my evidence as I go along. Getting so confused with it that I was going to leave it until I finished section 3, but I'll take your advice!

Any tips you can give me for section 2 of the portfolio?

Hi, can I join? I'm doing my degree part-time while working as a trainee BMS in a hospital histopathology lab. I attend university one day a week and the course will take me four years to complete (I am doing my portfolio as I go along). I also have previous experience of microbiology and have a total of ten years' experience working in NHS hospital labs.

I started studying in the autumn and am taking my first lot of exams over the next two weeks. I am a lot older than the average student and have a job, home and family to deal with along with all the academic stuff which can be daunting at times!

If anyone wants to ask about the job then I'll be happy answer any questions I can.

hi, i have now decide on doing access course to later do a degree in biomedical science, my que is, is it easy to get a job after the first degree?

Man, Human Physiology exam is gonna rape my arse hole.

Trying to get my head round (memorise) Receptors and Signal Transduction Mechanisms for homoeostasis module.

Physiology just sucks overall.

January Exams went quite well, averaging 65% on everything atm. Still waiting on results for Human Physiology though.

The new modules look well hard though! Human Physiology II and Maths look bearable.

But Structure and Function of Biological Molecules (which is basically Biochemistry) and Genetics, god help me.

Maths?

Biological Molecules is also a lot about regulatory proteins and that sort of thing. It's not too bad.

But nothing beats microbiology. Microbiology is smexy.

Yeah Basics Maths and IT Module. Not really sure why we've gotta learn it, but I guess it could be useful.

I had to do some Microbiology in Essential Labs and Cells and Tissues modules, found it as boring as it was back in A-levels. Aseptic techniques and all that jazz, meh. But it's absolutely essential. I hear some Biomed students that specialise in it can end up working for private companies, like beer fermenters and stuff, get paid a bundle.
