Courses Becoming a Biomedical Engineer with a Bsc in Medical Physics

Click For Summary
Becoming a biomedical engineer after completing a BSc in Medical Physics is uncertain due to varying definitions of biomedical engineering and the content of medical physics programs. To pursue a career in biomedical engineering, it is advisable to enroll in a dedicated biomedical engineering program. For those aiming to become medical physicists, a physics program is recommended. It is also suggested to avoid early specialization in undergraduate physics to maintain broader career options.

Can I become a biomedical engineer after completing a Bsc in Medical Physics?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
That's hard to say. The definition of "biomedical engineer" can vary considerably. So can the content of undergraduate medical physics programs.

If you want to be a biomedical engineer, your best bet is to seek out a program in biomedical engineering. If you want to be a medical physicist, your best bet is to seek out a physics program. I would avoid specializing in undergraduate physics too early.

Thread 'Pre-req for Ultrafast Optics? (Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics?)'

TL;DR: Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? Hi, I want to learn ultrafast optics and I am interested in condensed matter physics, ie using ultrafast optics in condensed matter systems. However, before I get onto ultrafast optics I need to improve my electrodynamics knowledge. Should I study Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? My level at the moment is Griffiths. Given my interest in ultrafast optics in condensed matter, I am not sure which book is better suited for me. If...
