A postgraduate qualification (diploma, Masters, or Ph.D.) is required for certain roles and levels of responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>Biomedical scientists work for national health services, blood and organ transplant services, universities, colleges, forensic or pathology laboratories, veterinary services, and the private sector (pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and healthcare companies).<\/p>\n<p>The job titles of biomedicine specialists vary and can include Laboratory Technologist, Clinical Laboratory Technician, Biomedical Scientist, and Clinical Research Associate.
