I've worked at a hospital for 16 years. Biomedical engineers are the people who work on medical equipment. I'm sorry I don't know more about it, but with the ever expanding types of medical equipment I would think that this would be a growing and prosperous field to go into.

Biomedical engineering (BME) is the application of engineering principles and techniques to the medical field. It combines the design and problem solving expertise of engineering with the medical expertise of physicians to help improve patient health care and the quality of life of healthy individuals.
As a relatively new discipline, much of the work in biomedical engineering consists of research and development, covering an array of fields: bioinformatics, medical imaging, image processing, physiological signal processing, biomechanics, biomaterials and bioengineering, systems analysis, 3-D modeling, etc. Examples of concrete applications of biomedical engineering are the development and manufacture of biocompatible prostheses, medical devices, diagnostic devices and imaging equipment such as MRIs and EEGs, and pharmaceutical drugs.

The aspects of the field as such:
*Bioelectrical and neural engineering
**Biomedical imaging and biomedical optics
***Biomaterials
****Biomechanics and biotransport
*****Biomedical devices and instrumentation
******Molecular, cellular and tissue engineering
*******Systems and integrative engineering
