I'm interested in becoming a researcher in the field of biomedicine, but I'm not sure if I would need to get a BA or Master's in bioengineering in order to do that. #research #biomedical-engineering #biomedical-engineer #biomedical-science #bioengineering

Castle’s Answer

It depends on the level at which you want to start working. There are certainly jobs out there in biomedical research for entry-level science majors with a BA/BS degree. A master's degree would allow you to start at a higher level and may give you a chance to lead projects (depending on the lab/company).

Lorraine’s Answer

I agree with Castle, that it depends on the level or type of work you are pursuing. I am a clinical research associate for a pharma company. I have a BS in business and an AAS in clinical trials research from a community college. Often, completing a degree is a hurdle you must cross to prove you have staying power. Most companies / organizations will provide specific training. Conversely, for some fields, you are better to complete a specific program such as statistics, if for example you want to become a biostatistician.
