A traveling biomedical engineer

I'm interested in biomedical engineering, but I also want a job where I can travel. Is there a job option within biomedical engineering where I can do this?

    Biomedical engineering is a branch which has got scope in 3 major regions.
    1).Hospital
    2).Manufacturing units
    3).Sales and service 
    
    Talking about your interest, if you want to go for travelling based job as an biomedical engineer, then choose the third option. Basically, in this marketing and sales, the instruments manufactured by companies are being sold through us by visiting doctors, research institutes, hospitals etc depending upon the company instrument and customer area, like if you are working for Cardiovascular instrumentation company which manufactures Pulse oximeter, then you will have to visit hospital for sales , and for servicing the damaged instrument as per the orders. Thus mostly field work includes 1). pre installation visit 2). installation visit 3). post installation visit.
    You can choose any kind of company as per your interest like
    - ULTRASONIC MACHINES
    -CARDIOVASCULAR MACHINES like Stents, Pace maker, Defibrillator etc
    -RESPIRATORY DEVICES like ventilator, nebulizer, Ambu Bag
