Biomedical Science
Kristy Meiselbach talks about what it’s like to study at RMIT
In high school my favourite classes will always the science classes such as biology and chemistry and what fascinated me most about those classes was the human body.
[Screen title] What do you like most about your degree?
My favourite part of biomedical science is being able to go into to the lab and conduct experiments on all the theory that we are learning in our lectures.
[Screen title] What’s been the highlight?
I was an intern at Walter and Eliza Hall. It’s a great experience to get into the lab and build up your knowledge and learn what it's like to work in a real-life lab.
[Screen title] What do you like about RMIT?
As an indigenous student I found that RMIT have a great support system and they're also create a very culturally safe environment.
At the RMIT city campus we have the Nagara Willim Centre where students can go just to study, hang out.
[Screen title] What’s next for you?
I’ll either study a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery or possibly complete honours at Walter and Eliza Hall.
My dream job would be to become a dual clinician and researcher in oncology.
I love the idea of being I would combine research and working with patients to create a job that I'm truly passionate about.

RMIT University presents
[Screen title] Why Health and Biomedical Sciences?
Speaker 1: So, I was inspired, by spending a lot of time in hospital, and really enjoying the work environment that they had there.
Speaker 2: In high school I took biology as one of my subjects, and I fell in love with it.
Speaker 3: This whole system pumps blood to pretty much every cell in the body, so I started reading more about it.
Speaker 4: I want to make people feel better.
[Screen title] Why study at RMIT?
Speaker 1: I knew RMIT had a great program.
Speaker 5: It does provide many good extracurricular activities.
Speaker 6: Because it's a three year course, with a fourth year being a four-year internship.
Speaker 3: Pretty much meeting new people.
Speaker 4: It's just really nice to be part of a community and have all these friends.
[Screen title] What are the challenges?
Speaker 1: Staying on top of all the work.
Speaker 4: Just trying to organise my time better.
Speaker 6: Every single patient is different, you aren't gonna have the same patient.
Speaker 3: I'd say, time management; so managing between your schoolwork and your social-life, and at the same time getting enough rest.
[Screen title] After you graduate, what’s next?
Speaker 2: Hopefully I'd have an internship.
Speaker 6: I'd love to be in a private clinic in Radiography.
Speaker 4: In five years' time I'd want to, set up my own clinic.
Speaker 3: Probably become a doctor hopefully.
[Screen title] What’s your advice for future students?
Speaker 4: Find what suits you.
Speaker 6: It's all about you, trying to find out which is your path.
Speaker 1: Get to know everyone in your degree.
Speaker 5: Pick something you would love to do, and you'll never work a day in your life. It's very cliché, but it's actually true.

People get into health and biomedical science for two reasons.
The first is that they care.
The second is that they believe they have the power to make a difference.
To work in this industry is to be a custodian of the skills that support wellbeing.
It’s seeing the future of health from a distance and breaking the big picture down.It’s what’s next for pharmaceutical sciences, nursing, bio-med and psychology.
It’s the integration of ancient traditions and modern medicine.
If the news proves anything, it’s that advances in health constitute some of the most important breakthroughs of humankind.
A hundred years ago, it was hard to imagine antiviral drugs or organ transplants.
But a handful of brave practitioners who wouldn’t take no for an answer went on to improve lives because they saw a better way.
A hundred years from now, whose lives will we have changed?
And are you ready to be one of the changemakers?

I’ve had the opportunity to work with a supervisor and complete a small research project.
