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 'PSA -- Contact PI's before applying to graduate school in the US'

Given the current funding situation, you should contact potential departments or research groups before you apply and pay any application fees. Many programs are not taking new graduate students at all this cycle because of funding uncertainty, unless a specific advisor can show they already have money to support you for five years. This is what I’ve heard directly from 20–30 programs. Do not waste money applying blindly.
