Overview

An MD program coupled with an MSE program in Biomedical Engineering will produce physicians who are able to practice medicine and biomedical research with the quantitative analytical skills of an engineer. The current trend nationally amongst medical students is to advance their medical education by pursuing master’s degrees in related fields, such as biomedical engineering, through dual-degree program arrangements. Students will develop skills and competencies in biomedical imaging and instrumentation, biomaterials, biomolecular engineering, computational bioengineering and biomechanics.

An undergraduate degree in engineering is not required to participate in this program
