Biomedical engineering is projected to increase by a whopping 72% in the ten year period ending in 2018. This is the fastest rate of growth over just about any occupation, including the 6 Fastest Growing Medical Careers, also projected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. However, as a relatively small field, with only about 16,000 biomedical engineers currently employed, this amazing rate of growth will "only" result in the addition of about 11,500 new jobs throughout that ten year period. Therefore, while biomedical engineering tops the list of highest growth percentage, it's not near the top of the list in terms of number of new jobs added.
Should you pursue a career as a biomedical engineer? If you are passionate about math and physics, in addition to biology and medicine, and you're seeking a technical career that doesn't include direct patient care, a career as a biomedical engineer may be for you!
