The lines between biotech, biopharma, medical device, and health tech companies can also get fuzzy when thinking about these non-traditional nursing roles because they are closely related, and some companies might overlap multiple areas. I think using the term life sciences helps to drastically broaden the scope of companies for nurses to search for these alternative career paths, but even then, it can be challenging!

Let’s talk about some quick differences between biotech, biopharma, and healthtech/medtech.

Biotechnology involves the process of using living organisms to develop products (to be used in healthcare or other areas like agriculture), and biopharma companies use the new discoveries and biotechnology processes to develop medications (like Keytruda or Humira); they kinda bridge the gap between lab and patient.

Since health tech, med tech, and biotech technologies can all be used in healthcare, there is more overlap in some of these areas. Medtech and Healthtech companies develop medical devices and software that can be used in and out of the hospital setting to monitor, diagnose, or treat patients. Many of the same types of biotech nursing roles can also be found in these types of companies.

Biotech nurses could wear many different hats in different work environments, so it can be difficult to search for these biotech nursing jobs because they may not be specific to only nurses.

Some of the types of non-traditional nursing roles available at these companies include (could be remote, hybrid, onsite, or home-based with travel required):

  • Educator
  • Triage/Call Center
  • Clinical Consultant or Liaison
  • Occupational Health Nurse
  • Sales or sales support
  • Informatics and Project Management
  • Data Science & Data Analytics
  • Navigator/Coordinator
  • Clinical Research
  • Quality Assurance
  • Regulatory Policy
  • Writer

Understanding some key differences will not only help you decide which companies you’d like to focus your job search on but knowing the different kinds of roles nurses are hired for in these blurred specialties will also help you narrow in on your unique transferable job skills to pick the right kind of role and company you’ll be happy working at!
