<p>I really want to go to JHU and do a Bio-Med Enineering Under-Grad...but wat will i have to do for grad school to safely land a job?</p>
<p>Will i have to go to Med-School?</p>
<p>Is an MBA a possibility, so that i can perhaps work at a company?</p>
<p>Or will a masters in Bio Med suffice and help me land a job?</p>
<p>Im wondering because my uncle told me that if i go Bio Med...ill have to go to med school in order to get a job. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>This is a blooming field!! The Job opportunities are huge… Not necessarily Med-School. But if you want you can go.</p>
<p>OOOO trust me, i dont want to go to med school…well i suppose i do want to, but the tuition…i dont think i could pay it off with a biomed salary…not that its bad, but physicians are struggling to pay off med shcool.</p>
<p>Its Biomedical Engineering…
After graduation and post graduation you can
1> Do research
2> NASA
3> About 2000 Medical companies around the world… and they will be very interested in an JHU graduate…</p>
<p>So med school not required?</p>
<p>And how will they like a GIT grad? Thats my safety if JHU shuns me…</p>
<p>WOw…they are both the “one of the bests” In America!.. So you can be okay…</p>
<p>Med School is not required…for landing a job.</p>
<p>Haha…ya. No matter what field of engineering i decide on, i want to go to a good school…i know its competitive, but i the prestige will help me more than my GPA in landing a job…not that my GPA is bad. Freshman years almost over and i have a 4.0…i just have to keep that.</p>
<p>I assume by GIT you mean GaTech… if you go there, you’ve got Emory University which does a dual degree program with GT. So… top class medical university partnered with top class engineering university and you’re on the path to getting one hell of a degree.</p>
<p>Biomedical engineering is literally one of the top three growing jobs. You’ll be well-off in the job market.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m not so sure that is true. You still need to do well in school regardless the prestige. Companies are not hiring the school, they are hiring YOU.</p>
<p>As a student in Georgia Tech, I will tell you something about biomedical engineer. YOU WILL NEED MASTER IN BIOMEDICAL ENGINEER in order to find great jobs in this area. If you just get B.S undergraduate biomedical engineer, you will have hard time finding the job. I know someone in biomedical engineer who graduated with highest honor from Georgia Tech but instead of getting job in biomedical area, he got a job in finance. </p>
<p>Most of the graduates from Georgia Tech with biomedical engineer degree went to medical school. The medical school look for fresh blood of people with different degree than biology. Biomedical engineer at georgia tech is harder than biology. That’s why GPA is bit lower but medical school knows this fact and still gives higher credential to someone with biomedical engineer than typical biology degree. Although your MCAT score factor into admission as well and it is weighted equally. </p>
<p>There are many medical equipment that are being researched and developed. I have heard some great succeess story by becoming lawyers in this area, but your uncle is right. It is still in process of growing field dorment if you will and you will likely have to go to medical school after the degree or doing master if you truly want to be in this field unless there are big needs of biomedical engineer in the near future.</p>
<p>hi. im jus a newbie here,</p>
<p>but i heard biomed engr is really competitve. is that true?
well, its obvious everything is being competitive these days, but in scope of all that, how does it compare to others?</p>
<p>read the post above you. Does it sound competitive? When you have to take every possible measure like getting a masters or ph.d then yes you are looking at a pretty competitive field.</p>
<p>At Gtg:</p>
<p>So is a Masters enough or will i need to go to Med School?..</p>
<p>Also, ill be going to grad school no matter what field i end up in.</p>

<p>Medical school will train you to become a medical doctor not an engineer. I don’t think you know the difference between biomedical engineer and medical doctor. You should research what biomedical engineer do and difference between medical doctor and biomedical engineer’s roll before decide your career into either one. Whether you go into medical school with biology or biomedical engineer degree in B.S., you will have option of going into any medical area once you are in medical school. So once you are in Medical school, whether you have biology or biomedical engineer degree, it won’t matter since you will be studying to become medical doctor in the end. </p>
<p>here’s link to biomedical engineer in wiki and what they do:
[Biomedical</a> engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomedical_engineering]Biomedical”>Biomedical engineering - Wikipedia)</p>
<p>don’t decide to go into biomedical engineer with hearsay from your parents and family members and actually do some research about what career path you wanna take in the future.</p>
<p>The health care bill introduces some uncertainty… It’s not clear how much of a negative the bill may be for BMEs. That said, I wouldn’t worry that you’d ever be living on the street or anything. ;)</p>
