<p>I was wondering about how biomedical engineering is doing as a major today. I plan to major in biomedical engineering and I wanted some general opinions about this major. I have already researched about what biomedical engineers do and their information about it on the Bureau of Labor statistics. However, I would like some other people's opinions about this major from those who have done this, are in it or just know about it? I just want to make sure that this is the right major that I want to invest my time in. In addition, I would like to know what else I can do with a biomedical engineering degree. Like what should I minor in? Should I take more school after a bachelors? General things about what will happen after I get my undergraduate degree.</p>
<p>are you planning on going to med school after biomedical engineering (not that you have to)?</p>
<p>I am considering to do that, but what if I don’t or don’t meet some requirements for med school. Is it better to do that?</p>
<p>Biomedical engineering is a little more complex than other engineering degrees because it marries engineering and medicine. People generally either get a masters, go to medical school, or go into industry right after college. The majority of people in any engineering degree strive for internships because a lot of companies hire from their internship pool. Keep in mind that since a lot of knowledge is needed for both engineering and anything medical related your return on a masters degree will probably be very high and open many more doors than just a B.S.
[Biomedical</a> Engineering Society](<a href=“http://bmes.org/content.asp?contentid=40]Biomedical”>http://bmes.org/content.asp?contentid=40) this might help you out a little.
biomedical engineering is a broad degree which is good and bad. Pros: you have many options and can specialize in exactly what you want to do. Cons: you have to be a self starter, you can’t expect your career path to be straight as an arrow.</p>
<p>I applied as a biomedical engineer as well. Do people go to medical school after they got a bachelor degreen in biomedical engineering?</p>
<p>Like I said that is a common outcome, it will definitely give you an edge if thats what you want to pursue (compared to others applying with a biology degree).</p>
