BJBS Special: Education and Training in Biomedical Science
Special Issue of the British Journal of Biomedical Science (BJBS) on Education and Training is available
Sheri Scott, Beverley Cherie Millar and Stephen McClean are pleased to present a new Special Issue in the British Journal of Biomedical Science on Education and Training in Biomedical Science showcasing the best practices in pedagogical approaches which have significantly impacted teaching, workplace training and assessment ensuring graduates have the knowledge and skills required for employment within the biomedical science sector.
Globally, biomedical science is a rapidly expanding discipline in relation to technological advances, scientific research and healthcare delivery. A degree in biomedical science offers the gateway to a diverse range of career pathways, primarily in healthcare service delivery, research and development in varied healthcare related disciplines (medical microbiology, clinical chemistry, haematology, cell pathology and genetics) as well as careers encompassing environmental, pharmaceutical, nutrition and forensic sectors and other areas such as teaching, communication and bioinformatics. As such it is fundamentally important that education providers deliver educational and training programmes which embed and promote the development of essential skills required when seeking employment in such varied sectors so that graduates are workforce-ready.
The Special Issue showcases the global diversity of innovative educator and practitioner-led research and practice, performed across the entire breadth of the biomedical science sector and present advances in theory, methodology and application of embedding workforce skills and knowledge requirements into current education and development programs.
