From specialist biomedical scientist to biomedical scientist
35 of the 98 essential skills of a biomedical scientist are already essential for a specialist biomedical scientist — about 36% of the job, before you learn anything new. It is the closest move from specialist biomedical scientist in the whole taxonomy.
These numbers compare two occupations, not you and a job. What you personally already cover depends on what you have actually done.

What a biomedical scientist does
Biomedical scientists perform all laboratory methods required as part of medical examination, monitoring, treatment, and research activities which involves designing, planning, organizing, applying, evaluating, interpreting and validating all analytical processes. They develop their activity in several fields of expertise such as haematology, microbiology, clinical immunology, cytopathology, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and clinical biochemistry among others. This requires the application of qualitative and quantitative laboratory methods, including image analysis and digital pathology, to provide an investigative report and diagnostic opinion on products of a biological nature.
