Why I Want To Pursue A Degree In Biomedical Engineering

Decent Essays

My primary goal as a biomedical engineer is to impact the accessibility of medicine, including cost, efficiency, and user friendliness, through the general advancement of medical technology and the development of new methods. Such advancements contribute to the overall improvement and availability of medical technologies in standard medical care facilities and could also impact areas with limited access to modern medicine. These are large scale ideas, but they are the foundation of my professional goals. As a junior at the University of Rhode Island (URI) pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering, my undergraduate studies have provided me with multidisciplinary knowledge in biomedical engineering, including biomedical instrumentation, biomechanics, and biology, as well as an emphasis on an electrical engineering …show more content…

It is a priority for me to continually explore possibilities and to gain interdisciplinary knowledge, so that I am well informed of my options for a research career in biomedical engineering and can acquire as much expertise as possible. Currently, I plan to pursue a career in research and development in private industry or a research institute. Soon after completing my undergraduate degree, I hope to attend graduate school to pursue a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering. My overall goal is to contribute to biomedical engineering work, improving the lives of individuals and impacting the accessibility of medical technology through the development and discovery of new methods and advancements. I believe that the Imaging in the Physical Sciences REU Summer Program at Rochester Institute of Technology would provide valuable experiences to support these goals and would allow me to explore new areas of biomedical engineering, develop my research skills, and prepare for the
