标题Re: [问题] 向读医工的前辈们请益
时间Mon Jun 13 12:54:38 2011
我个人的经验是,如果你想要在美国找跟医药相关的业界工作
我比较不建议特别跑去读医工
医工读的比较杂也比较窄,不如读化工,材料,机械或是电机底下偏生物工程的研究
在业界的BME大部分都不是读BME出来的
BME博士找到的工作,很多也是跟原来做的研究根本打不着关系。
但是你如果要读BME的话要有的体认是:
虽然你好像会被训练成十八般武艺都会,但是你的化学不会比读化学的强
生物生化phisiology也不会比读biochem/biology或是MD毕业的强
数学跟结构概念不会比化工机械的强
你一定要守住至少一个强的,然後慢慢弥补其他的(有缺再补)
如果要读博士的话,选对老师跟选有兴趣的领域比选学校重要多了。
但是医工博士就要有做无限久的 postdoc 的准备
如果想要去业界工作的话,做个要写论文的MS就好了。
还有啊,杂志上写的不要太相信。
以上是我大学读化学,研究所读化工(drug delivery/Tissue Engineering)
以及在美国医药界 六年+ 的经验谈

: As far as biomedical engineering, it can be good or bad. As you know the
: economy in the whole world is very difficult right now. If you want to know
: my advice I would say the difference between making it a good thing or a bad
: thing it depends on how much effort you put into it. I would suggest spending
: as much time at the school as possible...do your classes slowly and really
: concentrate on working on projects. Try to get a job with one of your
: professors doing research with them...do internships in the summer. Dont try
: to finish your masters degree as fast as you can. There are a lot of jobs for
: biomedical especially for USC graduates but the companies want to see work
: experience. Take the minimum amount of classes you are required each term and
: spend as much time as you can working for your professors and doing
: internships. The professors are always needing students to do work for them.
: Dont be afraid to ask them to help! Even if they dont need they often know of
: other professors who need help! If you do this it will be really good. If you
: just take your classes and get your masters it will not be nearly as valuable!
: A masters and this kind of work experience and you will be able to get a job
: no problem!!!!
: 所以说多花点时间在课业与实验室上才是王道吗?

1F:推 Tachiman:感谢前辈的回答,我个人是很想念个医工硕士再加上跟实验 06/17 22:33
2F:→ Tachiman:也不排斥念两个硕士来加强其中一项技能,因为之前有听学 06/17 22:35
3F:→ Tachiman:长说过医工学的太多了不易专精之类的话题。 06/17 22:37
4F:推 VIATOR:同意要守住至少一个强的!不过医工博士做postdoc不用无限久 06/23 05:48
5F:→ VIATOR:postdoc要做很久通常是比较纯生物的 06/23 05:49
