Where a biomedical scientist can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a biomedical scientist already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Biomedical scientists perform all laboratory methods required as part of medical examination, monitoring, treatment, and research activities which involves designing, planning, organizing, applying, evaluating, interpreting and validating all analytical processes. They develop their activity in several fields of expertise such as haematology, microbiology, clinical immunology, cytopathology, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and clinical biochemistry among others. This requires the application of qualitative and quantitative laboratory methods, including image analysis and digital pathology, to provide an investigative report and diagnostic opinion on products of a biological nature.

Fig. 2 — the 5 nearest destinations from biomedical scientist. Distance from the centre is how much retraining the move takes; the figure on each is how much of that role a biomedical scientist already covers. All 5 are listed in the tables below.
  • 70% and above · short step
  • 50 to 70% · real move
  • Below 50% · substantial retraining

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a biomedical scientist already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
