From my experience, a BMET is more of a Clinical Engineer, that would be in a hospital atmosphere repairing the medical equipment. A Biomedical Engineer is more of research and development than repair. If you looking for the technical repair then you should look into BMET training. I know the military has some very good BMET training and certification. Hope that helps.
