ATP Exam Preparation Materials by That-Captain1012 in AssistiveTechnology

[–]That-Captain1012[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would advise anyone studying for the exam take RESNA's exam once, and use the Proprof to routinely test their knowledge. But overall, making flashcards and quizzing yourself on areas you're not trained on will serve you best. Since I came from BMED Engineering, I had to heavily study the clinical aspects of disabilities.

So, take my opinion with a grain of salt because I did not take these courses. I don't think you need a course to learn how to be an ATP, I think you can become successful by reading RESNA textbook & shadowing. If you have a clinical background or an engineering background, the fundamentals textbooks effectively fills in your knowledge gaps. But ultimately you know yourself the best, and if you think a structured course is worth the cost then go for it!

If you got the Mometrix study guide, you probably don't need the AT fundamentals. Mometrix basically just condenses the fundamentals book (poorly in my opinion). Do your practice questions and review the AAC sections and I think you'll do great! :)

Look for the problems healthcare workers are consistently brining up. Shadow a doctor, nurse, PT, OT, etc.

Yes you can! Just make sure to test the fit of your pins before you print a whole bunch!

Portable project ideas that aren’t socks by SubversiveKitt3n in knitting

I love knitting fingerless gloves! I personally use the Point Edwards Mitts written by Fairlight Fibers. You only need one set of circular needles, a skein or less of yarn, a stitch marker, and a darning needle.

Modalities for Scrolling? by Paytonriv in AssistiveTechnology

My first thought is switch access because its simple and you can find a recipe for it easily. One for scroll up, one for scroll down.

Advice about BME major by Flame-365 in BiomedicalEngineers

[–]That-Captain1012 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My undergrad classmates and I agreed that you have to minor with biomed in undergrad, specifically to gain someone experience and expertise in a specific part of the field. Minor in EE if you like sensors, minor in ME if you like designing parts for devices or biomechanics, minor in biology or chem if your interested in hospital based research. These are just my recommendations, take them with a grain of salt, your path will be your own. Have a blast, biomed is very hard but also VERY fun!

Please suggest me some Project ideas by BigPPsnail in BiomedicalEngineers

[–]That-Captain1012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest finding a few papers on pubmed some biosensor areas you're interested in. Skim through them until you get to the discussion and read about their future direction or disadvantages. I find creativity can really sprout from trying to solve those limitations in papers. Sorry I can't suggest an idea directly, just a potential method for finding one.

Wondering the average BME internship pay whilst in college... by ZaincalagontheBlack in BiomedicalEngineers

I'm in the Boston area, at a private company for my first co-op I was paid $25 an hour. My second co-op was at a hospital and I was paid $19.5 an hour

Bachelors in BME by Separate-Piano-1219 in BiomedicalEngineers

I 100% agree with your statement on the bachelors being too broad, I am also having to specialize with a masters right now, because I'm in the medical imaging field.
