Interested in a career in Medical Physics

[gatech2012]

Hi, I just got accepted to Ga Tech and I applied for the BS in Mechanical Engineering.
I was wondering if anyone knows if I can pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering and get a MS in medical physics? if not , should I just go into nuclear and radiological engineering or biomedical engineering? I don’t really care to be wealthy. I just want to have a stable career and being able to help people.

Might want to have a look at this thread about medical physics:

Thanks, I think the nuclear engineering may be the best route...

Is Ga tech a great school for nuclear engineering or am I wasting money there when i can go to a smaller and better school?
