SUMMARY

High school seniors interested in careers that merge health and engineering should consider fields such as health physics and biomedical engineering. To prepare for these careers, students should focus on foundational courses in mathematics, including calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations, as well as physics and potentially chemistry or biology. The initial years of study in most scientific and engineering majors are similar, allowing students time to explore their options before committing to a specific path.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of calculus and linear algebra
  • Basic knowledge of physics and chemistry
  • Familiarity with differential equations
  • Awareness of biomedical engineering principles
NEXT STEPS
  • Research biomedical engineering programs at universities
  • Explore health physics career paths and required qualifications
  • Investigate internships in health-related engineering fields
  • Learn about the latest advancements in biomedical technology
USEFUL FOR

High school seniors, career counselors, and educators guiding students interested in interdisciplinary careers that integrate health and engineering.

Well the first fields that come to mind are health physics and biomedical engineering.

For most scientific/engineering majors, in the first year or two the student takes math (typically calculus, linear algebra, differential equations), physics, maybe chemistry and/or biology. The good news is, the first year or two of nearly all science/engineering majors are very similar so you don't have to make up your mind right away.
