A Student of Biomedical Science

Introduction to LinkedIn 💼 Many of you might have already heard of LinkedIn and have a profile, but I wasn’t even aware of it up until around 3 months ago - so I thought I’d just make this short introductory post.👩🏻‍💻 With LinkedIn, you’re able to showcase your academic and career achievements, advertise your experience, and actively search for jobs and career opportunities. 💡 I think it’s a great platform, because nowadays when you apply for a job, many recruiters and employers check to see if you have a LinkedIn account, just to get a sense of who you are as a person - your CV can only contain so much information! 📄 I have been using LinkedIn for around 6 months, and although I haven’t been actively looking for employment during this time, I’ve managed to connect with quite a few people and message people, asking for advice and information about their career.

I aim to be one day, but for now I am just half-way through the first year of my BSc degree.  To become a registered biomedical science, there are quite a few steps you need to take. You need to register with the IBMS, complete training and a portfolio and become registered with the HCPC and so on... At the moment, my future plan looks very similar to the steps I've outlined in the first infographic. However, I'm very keen on trying to get onto the Applied degree route (I'll go into more detail about the different degrees in another pot, but here's just a little information.) If you were to do the Applied route, you would do your first year as a normal degree, but for your second and third years, you would work in a lab and complete the IBMS portfolio whilst studying. This, essentially...
