<p>I've been looking into Johns Hopkins recently, and, after reading the list of majors offered, wonder if it's possible to both major in computer science and BME, with an emphasis on imaging. Is that feasible in four years, while fulfilling all of the premed requirements as well?...I know that Id have to apply to BME on my application, and that most of the BME classes overlap with the premed requirements.</p>
<p>Yes, it is VERY possible. I know multiple people who have done this. </p>
<p>I am a BME at JHU and I am doing the new Computational Biology concentration, which happens to have a medical imaging sequence of courses. Premed requirements are pretty easy to fulfill if you are BME. I think the only extras are 2 English classes and Organic Chemistry II.</p>
<p>I'd also like to add that Applied Math is used heavily in imaging techniques as well, and it is one of the easier majors/minors to get as a BME.</p>
<p>One of the most challenging and interesting classes I've taken is Statistical Methods in Medical Imaging. Lots of coding in the language of your choice, and lots of math. The stuff you learn is actually very applicable to many other fields as well. I took Statistical Methods in Intrusion Detection at the same time, which is a class offered by the Information Security Institute that deals with computer network security, and many of the techniques were identical.</p>
<p>Yup. BME has a special concentration called Computational Biology and imaging is a part of it. But why would you double major in engineering and then go to medical school? </p>
<p>You'd be pretty hardcore if you did and JHU is the best place to do something like that, although it'll be hard. The contributions you could make to science and medicine with a background like that will be amazing.</p>
<p>Good luck.
PS: I'm in the CompBio conc. and I'm not double majoring in CS but I do take a lot of CS courses.</p>
