Career Goals

As I move ahead in my undergraduate program, I have taken the decision to complete my Bachelor's and Master's degree through the 4+1 BS/MS Biomedical Engineering program offered at the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology. As far as I have planned, I am set to start an Internship as a Scientist in the Medical Innovations Hub at Eli Lilly in the Summer 2022 semester. Being an International student, every experience counts and hence I am looking forward to each of these experiences.

BS/MS in Biomedical Engineering, May 2023/24

Medicine Innovations Hub Intern, Summer 2022

Strategies to achieve my goal

This semester, I need to continue focusing on my coursework, I also want to keep growing in my lab and my skills, hence I have decided to put more time and energy into the daily lab work. Hence, I want to stay on track but at the same time grow my networking circle and look and research to explore opportunities in terms of other engineering programs, career paths, and master's as I move ahead.

BECOMING A CLINICAL ENGINEER

Clinical engineers specifically work in the day-to-day operations of a hospital, interacting with the technology, patients, and problem-solving. Clinical engineering also requires that the engineer be prepared to work with both medical equipment and doctors, nurses, technicians, patients, and patient family members. They also must be an expert in their field and must continue their education to stay on top of advancements. Mentioned below are some steps to become a clinical engineer

- Earn my Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineer

- Earn a Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineer

- Earn/ Plan to achieve the one year Master of Engineering Degree from Cornell University

- Study and receive the American College of Clinical Engineering Certificate

- Find appropriate internships/apprenticeships /jobs in a hospital
