Although I am currently not working, I do feel it is important explore both paths. This way you can have a better feel for which job suits your interests. Also, you will gain more experience, and become more knowledgeable in both areas. I hope through this course that I will get an understanding on what is required with medical device development. I plan to use the knowledge acquired through the course in helping me to determine the type of position I would want to work in. I do have more interest in working in industry than in academia, as it seems to be a better fit for me. However, I am open to trying out both fields to determine which one I enjoy more.
