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?

That's hard to say. The definition of "biomedical engineer" can vary considerably. So can the content of undergraduate medical physics programs.
