If you were to get a degree in BME, here are some things that you could do with your BSE: work as a researcher in a laboratory under a principal investigator, work for a pharmaceutical company, or work for a medical devices company (like Medtronic, Medco, etc.). You're not confined to jobs just in health sciences. My friend works for Microsoft but graduated from Duke with a BME degree. You could also go into business administration - there are a lot of opportunities. You will have more if you get a higher degree (master's or doctorate).

I'm a BME major and I'm planning on going to medical school. It's true, bme is really really tough, but if you can excel in bme, then that will make your application more impressive than a 4.0 in biology (generic major for pre-meds).

Overall, a BME degree gives you more flexibility and opportunities in the long run, because if you don't get into med school then you will still have a degree that you can do something with.
 
if you have a final goal to go into medical school its more important for you to have high marks so taking that into consideration biomedical engineering is very very tough! Because you are pretty much taking biology based courses as well as engineering related courses so the course load would be intense, biology would allow you to have a more flexible course load so you can take more courses outside of mandatory ones so you can help boost your average for medical school!


Good Luck!
 
If I were to get a degree in Biomedical Engineering, what jobs could I get?

Would it be more beneficial to major in biology or biomedical engineering if I am planning on going to medical school?
