Description
Tissue regrowth. Prosthetics. Drug therapies. Artificial organs. Advanced surgical procedures. These are but a few of the breakthroughs you can credit to biomedical engineers. Those in the discipline fuse science and technology to find cutting-edge solutions to today’s medical problems. Author Jaime Guillet explores this challenging and innovative career, with firsthand accounts from those who strive daily to improve human health. “Biomedical Engineers: Stories From People Who’ve Done It†provides a look at the rigors of training, where you can go to school, the diverse paths in the field, earnings expectations and resources to consult if you’re already working or looking to get started.
Excerpt from the book:
“When talking to students, I hear the same story over and over again when I ask them why they picked biomedical engineering. It is always about ‘wanting to help people.’ There are a lot of people in the world who want to contribute to society, and biomedical engineers use their technical skills to help solve society’s medical problems. It’s a good field for that combination.â€

About the Author:
Jaime Guillet is a New Orleans-based reporter who has covered industries such as transportation, retail and film, as well as city and state government. She worked as a senior staff writer for the city's premier business publication, New Orleans City Business, and contributes to several national trade publications. Guillet has won numerous awards from the Louisiana Press Association and the Press Club of New Orleans for her coverage of business and city government, including a first-place award for her investigative series about transparency of public contracts. In addition to the gratification she receives from covering pre- and post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans, she loves going to the movies, writing so she can feed her animals (including two horses, Cisco and Penny), Tina Fey, and all things comedic, even if she is not (though she tries real hard).
