My Skills, Goals, and Interests:
Ever since I was little I have dreamed about what I want be when I grow up. Well now I closer than ever to being a grown up. The basic skill and career cluster survey found on cfnc.org helped guide me on the path to finding a suitable career.
I have some goals for this paper, one of them being to explore the career of my choice and another goal of mine is to develop a solid plan for high school and college. I also hope that as I am researching this career that I will be able to find suitable colleges and possible scholarship opportunities for this college.
I have known since I was young that I love math and science (especially the health sciences field). The career cluster survey definitely relayed this information back to me. I had a one hundred percent match for the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics career cluster and a ninety-two percent match for the Health Sciences. My other top career clusters were Government and Public

Biomedical Engineers use math and biology skills everyday so they have to have a high interest in math and biology. Biomedical Engineers must be “thinkers” and “doers”. Biomedical Engineers have to have a high general learning ability, verbal aptitude, numerical aptitude and spatial perception. Based on this criteria I think that Biomedical Engineering would be a great career for me to pursue.
Biomedical Engineers design, develop and evaluate medical products such as artificial organs, prostheses, instrumentation, medical information systems, and health management and care delivery systems. Biomedical Engineers also train others how to use the equipment. They design new ways for energy sources to be used and forecast medical procedure outcomes too. They would maintain biomedical equipment and provide technical support for it. Biomedical Engineers document the service history on all biomedical
One invaluable experience that I’ve gained over the years was my participation in the Engineering Scholars Program at Florida Atlantic University (FAU). This program allowed high school students, like myself, to take one engineering-related college course over the summer during an accelerated three-week time frame. The course that I chose to take was called Biomedical Engineering, and it changed my fundamental interests and perspectives forever.
One of the only medical professions that can lend you a hand, seriously, in a Biomedical Engineering career, I will be able to lend you a hand. There are several job opportunities in Biomedical Engineering, which tie together to provide needed care for patients. The typical job duties for biomedical engineers are to design products, such as artificial limbs for people who need them, artificial internal organs, and machines for diagnosing medical problems. They also install equipment, maintain, and repair the equipment as needed. (www.truity.com) These assets provided are the designing portion of this career. There is also research that has to be done, and that is where biomedical engineers work with different scientist, and chemists to research and understand the engineering details of the biological systems of the human body. A biomedical engineers job may also be spread between many professional fields.
Engineering is a wildly divest carrer from creating applicances to medical equitment. iTs a career that is always changing . The main reason I want to go into biomedical enegerring is bacause i think that it would be intressting and because i have always had a intrease in mathamatics and biology and being a biomdical enegreer would allow me to incoprateoth bit of these subjects into dsily life. Becomin a biomidcal engerrin would offer me with many opprotuinty. One of whice is working in many different enviroment from labs to hospitals to univesaty. Like stated before enginring is a career that is always chaning so a enggeere will alway have to lear more on more that one sunject and sometimes out side his or her inically fildes. Also it offer
The medical field is quite vast in its selection of job careers even within the same job you can be many different titles while doing the same thing. One of the careers I had chosen was to be a radiologist. Radiologists are physicians who use cutting-edge imaging technology to examine organs and tissues inside the body in gentle, noninvasive ways. Their expertise in
Based on my survey results I have learned that I want to have a career where I work with technology. The survey was important because it pointed out the direction that I am headed in. It also tells me that some of my strengths are working with technology involving math and science. It also points out to me some of my weaknesses that I need to work on like interpreting, reading, and following directions and figuring out what the directions are asking for. The top career that the survey picked for me was Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. In this career, I would be planning and managing scientific research. The second career choice that the survey picked for me was Information Technology. In this career, I would be designing and developing softwares and hardware. I agree with the results of the survey because even though I have several strengths I still have things I could get better at. I also agree with the survey because the top careers that the survey picked for me were the career clusters that I thought I would get in the beginning.
Courses I have taken that are relevant to my career interests are biology, chemistry, Principles of Biomedical Science, Human Body Systems, Medical Interventions, advanced genetics and applied biotechnology, and physiology. Biology and chemistry have provided me with a basic science background that is essential to understanding more advanced science courses. Human Body Systems and physiology have helped me to learn basic anatomy and physiology through hands-on activities like constructing organ systems out of clay and dissecting a cat. In addition, I learned how basic biomedical science knowledge and research methods in Principles of Biomedical Science and continued this
The career I have chosen to pursue in the future is a surgeon. A surgeon is a physician who performs surgical operations. They are who cut the human body for the purpose of removing diseased tissue or organs, to repair body systems, or to replace diseased organs with transplants. Surgeons may be physicians, dentists, podiatrists, and veterinarians. Surgeons can be general surgeons and perform all types of surgery, or they can be specialized, such as heart surgeons or brain surgeons. I plan to specialize in heart surgery or as its also known cardiothoracic surgeon. A cardiothoracic surgeon is a medical doctor who specializes in surgical procedures of the heart, lungs, esophagus, and other organs in the chest. This includes surgeons who can be called cardiac surgeons, cardiovascular surgeons, general thoracic surgeons, and congenital heart surgeons.
Healthcare skills: (anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, pathophysiology, clerical and administrative procedures, laws and ethics, communications),
When I took my first biology class my freshman year of high school, I knew that I wanted to aim for a career in the field of science, I just couldn't decide exactly what I wanted to do. It wasn't until my first anatomy class my junior year that I fell in love with the study of the human body, and figured out exactly what I wanted to become: a surgeon. I chose this as my career not only because of my love for anatomy, but also because I was infatuated with the idea that I could save people's lives every day and because I shared that same interest in medicine.
For this research project I had to take two surveys. They were important because the told me things that I knew about myself and also some things I didn’t know, so it helped put me in the right direction to find out my career. The results I got back from the career cluster survey online
I have always been interested in the medical field. My father is a physiotherapist and my mother is a trained laboratory technician. I have grown up having science-themed discussions around the dinner table and books lying around the house. Seeing both my mother and father at work, I knew that neither of those professions were the correct fit for me. I liked the personal side of physiotherapy but I wanted something more technology related. As I searched for careers in the medical field, I could not find anything that I was passionate about. I could not find a career that combined my
The biology career that i choose to do my research paper project on was a Microbiologist which is a biologist that studies is a scientist who studies microscopic life forms like cells and processes or works in the field of microbiology.The job of a microbiologist is to study bacteria, virus, cells, and other organisms that can not be seen with the naked eye they do that so they can reroute viruses or bacteria that can harm humans to make life safe harm humans to try to reroute them and make them non harmful towards humans. A microbiologist would study ebola or the flu virus to come up with a cure. This means they have a part in health care because they cure diseases and/or fight against them. I will be discussing a Microbiologist from their
To be a biomedical clinical engineer there a lot of things that has to be accomplished. The roles of being a biomedical clinical engineer is that you design and build sensor system that can be used for diagnostic tests, such as the computers used to analyze blood, develop computer systems that can be used to monitor patients. There are some programs that I can attend such as a master or bachelor’s degree program. During this job there are some non-educational requirements that you have to inhabit for instance, you have to stay focused, and your hands need to be clean as always. I choose this career because I get to work in the hospitals or any health care facilities and I get to work with medicine. Some required personality traits is to be
During high school, we were forced to look at different careers and fields of study weekly. I had known that the STEM field was most appropriate for me. I was all in on being an engineer of some sort, but after taking an engineering class, I quickly changed my mind. Then I thought about math and physics. I did very well in math and physics just applied those skills. However, I found them to be quite boring after a while. So, within the last year, I have been looking more seriously into chemistry of biology. Chemistry was my favorite high school
Several well-wishers suggested that I choose medicine or engineering and pursue in one of those fields since I had done biology
