Answer the following prompts and respond to two other students. All responses
must be substantive and a minimum of 150 words.
Give a brief description of your history in the medical field and or your experience
with anatomy content.
Explain why it is vital that a biomedical technician has a basic understanding of
human anatomy.
My experience in the medical field started with the military. While serving I was trained
as a CLS and first responder for my unit. More recently I have been working as a
biomed tech in the medical field for the past 1 ½ years. In this period of time gained
experience with patient care equipment, nurse call systems, EKGs, ultrasounds,
microscopes, and dealt directly with vendors in regard to medical equipment.
In regard to the human anatomy my extensive tours in Iraq and Afghanistan has given
me extensive insight into our biology unwilling.
It’s vital for biomedical technicians to have an understanding of human anatomy
because some of the devices we work on directly affect different portions of the body
and can cause harm to patients if not properly trained. Overall human anatomy provides
a detailed understanding of normal body functions which provides better treatment for
abnormal or disease states.
