What Im looking for if anyone knows is a guess on the top 3 or top 5 jobs in the medical field that involve chemisty, not really looking for a pharmacist, more for a doctor of some type. Anyone with any information I thank you!
Thanks Again!
geneologist? Even an oncologist/hemetologist
Endocrinologist or a hematologist / oncologist. They deal with all kinds of hormones and bodily chemicals as well as pharmaceuticals.
There are a variety of positions available. With an undergraduate degree, the medical technology field is a possibility. Body fluids and tissues (blood etc.) are analyzed for medical testing and reporting (lab reports). With an undergraduate degree and training you could work as a Medical Lab Technician, Medical Technologist, or Clinical Scientist. Hemotology, Immuno-hematology, Microbiolgy & Virology, Serology all involve chemistry. Some require minimal knowledge and others require more. Depending on where you are, additional education may be needed.
Masters and Doctoral degrees open up more possibilities for clinical scientists in/outside a clinical lab including forensics, and medical research. Many of these programs also have a back-door entry program to gain a medical degree if you are capable. Medical imaging and product manufacturers also employ a lot of people with chemistry backgrounds, and the opportunity for further education. If you’re wanting to limit your search to the medical field, visit your local medical school/university and look at the job openings in the personnel office. You will see a number of clinical, research and studies that require various levels of education, and which most people are unaware of. They will also show you what fields of chemistry are in demand and what training/education they are expecting. Some require patient contact some do not. Also consider where science is heading and possible work that might require cross-skills such as nanotechnology, ceramics, biochemistry, and engineering. The educational support system for that field may or may not be available where you are, and may require a change in location. Good luck on your adventure! (and perhaps Nobel prize?)
i would say nephrologists probably use the most chemistry with dialysis and stuff. you have to be crazy smart to understand that crap
