Certified biomedical analyst HF

As a qualified biomedical analyst HF (BMA), the laboratory is your workplace. Using state-of-the-art technology, you will analyze body fluids, cells and tissue according to the latest biomedical and technical findings. You check the results and reliably recognize their significance - even under time pressure. You pass on the laboratory results to the attending physicians in the shortest possible time, who then adapt the treatment of their patients accordingly. You will work closely with doctors, scientists, nursing staff, IT and business administration specialists and other professionals.

In their day-to-day work, BMAs make an important contribution to the diagnosis and monitoring of medical treatment.

In state-of-the-art laboratories, you will examine human body fluids and tissue samples, determine blood groups or analyze bacteria. Precise work for meaningful results is essential here, as the medical team providing further treatment is only able to make an accurate diagnosis with these basic principles. Even though the work of qualified biomedical analysts HF is characterized by challenging technical and analytical processes, they are at the service of people every day.

The 3-year full-time training takes place at the Basel Health Education Center. Approximately half of the training period takes place in the internship institutions. The University Hospital Basel offers internships in the fields of clinical chemistry, hematology, immunology, microbiology and pathology.
