Where a biomedical engineer can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a biomedical engineer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Biomedical engineers combine knowledge of engineering principles and biological findings for the development of medical treatments, medicaments, and general healthcare purposes. They can develop solutions ranging from the improvement of the components in conventional medicaments up to implants developments, and tissue treatment.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a biomedical engineer already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
