Training to become a biomedical analyst is practice-integrated, i.e. it consists of 50% school-based training and 50% work placements in internship companies.
During the Biomedical Analyst course, students deal with the following specialist areas:
In the internships, they learn to carry out analyses, perform general laboratory tasks, work with automated laboratory equipment and facilities and use their data to support telemedical services.
As a biomedical analyst, you know the processes and procedures for taking samples of body tissues or fluids properly, transporting them and storing them until analysis. You will know how to inform patients correctly and prepare them well for the collection. After collection, you will prepare the samples so that they can be measured in the appropriate devices, analyzed or assessed under a microscope. Finally, the biomedical analyst validates the laboratory results and findings, prepares reports and forwards them to the responsible authorities. In doing so, they comply with all safety and hygiene regulations and disposal guidelines so as not to endanger themselves or others.
Thanks to their knowledge of time management and project work, they are able to organize themselves, set priorities and maintain an overview. As a biomedical analyst, you coordinate the work within the team and maintain an overview of what is happening in the laboratory both during normal operation and in emergency situations.
