Getting into medical stream is no easy feat. Wheneverwe hear the word medical, the first thought that arises in our mind is “Doctor”, this is one of the stereotypes related to the career options of medical field.There are countless stereotypes just like, people expect medics to always look professional,
There is somewhat of a chicken and egg argument when looking to see where these myths come from. Students of medical also study physics and chemistry apart from biology, but all the focus is put on biology, that’s another beautiful thing about our society.
There are so many career options one can drive from the amalgamation of chemistry and physics, but we have finite information associated to the field of medical.
So, let’s just dive straight in to it, to discuss more beautiful career alternatives related to field medical.
Agriculture
When most people think of careers in agriculture, they picture the quintessential farmer in overall and a straw hat or it takes little or no education to be an expert of this field or when one enters into this field there is no growth.
Nevertheless, when it comes to the education, agriculture is more towardsresearch.
Most of the temple institutes like YS Praman, Kangra and Himachal KrishiVishavVidhalya, Palampur are located in Himachal, which is a hub for agriculture because of its geographical and natural diversity.
Job Roles
- Dairy Technology
- Animal husbandry
- Horticulture
- Floriculture
- Sericulture
Paramedical
In contrast to the typical MBBS degree, paramedical courses are profession-oriented medical training courses that enable students to develop a career in the medical industry in a short amount of time and at a low cost. Candidates can enter the medical industry through paramedical courses in areas such as medical emergency, aid, and diagnostics.
These are the various job roles-
- Dialysis technician
- Radiologist
- Speech therapist
- Physiotherapist
- Occupational therapy
- Anaesthesiologist
- Optometrist
- Medical lab tech (MLT)
Astrobiology
- The search for life beyond the Earth requires an understanding of life, and the nature of the environments that support it, as well as planetary, planetary system and stellar interactions and processes.
- Job roles-
- Research in a lab
- Develop education
- Materials,
- Lecturing at a university,
- Science policy making
- Science journalist in- websites, magazines, newspapers, or book
Biophysics
- Biophysics is that branch of knowledge that applies the principles of physics and chemistry and the methods of mathematical analysis and computer modeling to biological systems, with the ultimate goal of understanding at a fundamental level the structure, dynamics, interactions, and ultimately the function of biological systems.
- Biophysics seeks to explain biological function in terms of the physical properties of specific molecules
- Job roles-
- Molecular Biophysics
- Radiation Biophysics
- Psychological Biophysics
Ayurveda
- As the name suggests, Ayurveda means Understanding of Life and Longevity.
- The system of Ayurveda has its roots in the Vedic times. This system follows a completely herbal way of healing and over the course, has acquired much attention all over the globe.
Job Roles
- Clinical Practice
- Research
- Drug Manufacturing
- Academics
- Management and Administration
Biochemistry
- Biochemistry is both life science and a chemical science.
- It explores the chemistry of living organisms and the molecular basis for the changes occurring in living cells.
- It uses the methods of chemistry, physics, molecular biology, and immunology to study the structure and behaviour of the complex molecules found in biological material and the ways these molecules interact to form cells, tissues, and whole organisms
Job Roles
- Public health entities
- Industrial laboratories
- FMCG industries
Microbiology
- Microorganisms and their activities are vitally important to virtually all processes on Earth. Microorganisms matter because they affect every aspect of our lives – they are in us, on us and around us.
- Microbiology is the study of all living organisms that are too small to be visible with the naked eye like bacteria, viruses, fungi etc
- These microbes play key roles in nutrient cycling, biodegradatio climate change, food spoilage, etc
- Microbes can be put to work in many ways: making life-saving drugs, the manufacture of biofuels, cleaning up pollution, and producing/processing food and drink
Biotechnology
- the use of living cells and bacteria in industrial and scientific processes
- New products are made from already existing products of living organisms.
- We have used the biological processes of microorganisms for more than 6,000 years to make useful food products, such as bread and cheese, and to preserve dairy products
Job Roles
- Food manufacturing
- IT companies
- Science and engineering research board
