Career Outlook
Memphis is a leader in the biomedical industry, employing close to 57,000 professionals across 1,000 establishments. Ten percent of our city's total employment is dedicated to the biomed field (30% higher than the national average). Job prospects are excellent, and earning potential will remain high as the demand for more biomedical engineers is expected to spike because the population of baby boomers are entering their golden years. Biomedical engineers typically work in industries, hospitals, and inside research labs of government, academic and industrial institutions. They might also work for government regulatory agencies.
