Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Individuals with a BSc in Medical Physics can pursue a career in biomedical engineering, but it is advisable to seek a dedicated biomedical engineering program for optimal preparation. The definition of "biomedical engineer" varies, and undergraduate medical physics programs differ significantly in content. For those aiming to become medical physicists, enrolling in a physics program is recommended. Early specialization in undergraduate physics should be avoided to maintain broader career options.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of biomedical engineering principles
  • Familiarity with medical physics concepts
  • Knowledge of undergraduate program structures in engineering and physics
  • Awareness of career pathways in biomedical fields
NEXT STEPS
  • Research accredited biomedical engineering programs
  • Explore the curriculum of medical physics undergraduate degrees
  • Investigate career opportunities in medical physics versus biomedical engineering
  • Learn about interdisciplinary approaches in biomedical engineering
USEFUL FOR

Students considering a career in biomedical engineering or medical physics, academic advisors, and professionals exploring interdisciplinary education options in the biomedical field.

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.
