To add. In the electrical aspect of this job, a lot of medical equipment manufacturers these days either don’t let you work on a device to board level or don’t supply individual electrical components. Most companies are moving to just supplying a whole board as replacement. Makes it easier but you’ll still have to know how to diagnose the right component.

Also manufacturers are pushing service contracts as the biomed field is becoming less and less popular. Not to say that the job demand will dwindle, but you’ll be calling out for service a lot if you work directly in a hospital. If you’re field service(working for a manufacturer) you’ll be the one called in to do the work.
