I think both interpersonal skills and technical skills are important in the biomedical field. For instance, If a engineer makes a medical device gradually he would be having more technical knowledge of that medical device. Now that engineer is planing to gain profit from that medical device. Here technical skills plays a major role in FDA approval. If that medical device gets FDA approval. Now that engineer will think of making profit.Here interpersonal skill plays a crucial role. He represent himself as a salesperson in order to convince device to buy and gain profit.
