Biomedical Science - In My Eyes

Without a doubt, many don't know what biomedical science or biomedicine really is. Some would just be plain ignorant. Some would just nod without knowing. Some would just ask you back 'Is that a new field?'

True to the fact, Biomedicine may be a new field on its own. However, the topics under this field has long existed since the beginning of medical science. Anatomy, histology, microbiology, cell biology, virology and much much more. From these topics, it almost sound like we are studying medicine. However, while medicine students studies clinical and symptoms, biomedicine studies the cause of disease at cellular level (just an example).

Most of my seniors have excellent results that can enable them to be potential doctors, however limited places in public university posses a challenge. Nevertheless, we are doctors that got pay less and work behind the scenes. For those who got medicine studies in public uni, congratulation. For those who got biomed, congratulation as well because you are the one who will be helping doctors to discover cures and vaccines for common diseases or even plague/outbreaks.

That's all I have to say. What I have mentioned just now is just the tip of the iceberg on what biomedicine is. As for me I'm now studying biomedicine in UPM and I proud of it.
