Biomedical analyst: key role in disease diagnosis

The professional activity of a biomedical analyst is associated with a great responsibility towards patients and doctors. These specialists analyze samples of tissue, cells and other body fluids in their medical laboratory on behalf of the prescribing doctor. They are supported by computerized measuring devices and modern precision equipment, but often also examine the samples manually and by hand. The results of an analysis are an important basis for treating physicians and specialists and enable a diagnosis and well-founded monitoring of treatments. They also form the basis for the prognosis and prevention of diseases.

Biomedical analysts often have to deliver accurate and precise work under time pressure, for example in emergencies. While working in biomedical analysis, you come into contact with a wide range of medical disciplines, such as haematology, immunohaematology, clinical chemistry and immunology, microbiology and molecular biology.

The full-time course at the higher technical college lasts three years and is offered at several locations in Switzerland. To be admitted to this course, you must have a three-year basic education, a high school diploma or comparable qualification, a good knowledge of chemistry, mathematics, physics and biology, and pass the aptitude test.

Are you very interested in this varied and responsible profession and would you like more detailed information about the job itself or about training as a biomedical analyst? Are you preferably an EFZ laboratory technician specializing in biology or chemistry, an EFZ pharmaceutical assistant, an EFZ specialist or an EFZ medical practice assistant? Then this further training course could be ideal for you? You can find renowned training providers on Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch.
