If so, would you mind giving a rundown on what your job is like? I mentioned in a previous post, I am a current radiology student having trouble finding a school that will let me take the technical portion due to vaccine mandates. A teacher told me I have a really good engineering mindset. I previously had considered engineering, but was turned off due to the large amount of desk work engineering requires. He told me biomedical engineering would be more hands-on, plus my health related classes would transfer to it. Is this true?

Depends. I’m currently in medical research and have worked with a few biomedical engineers. Most biomedical engineering is going to be like lab work. So honestly about 60% desk work for documentation. My personal recommendation is to get on something like LinkedIn to find a few biomedical engineers currently in field. For course load you will easily be able to transfer any biology and chemistry courses, but be prepared to have to take mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and chemical engineering. However if doing things like designing pacemakers, artificial organs, artificial limbs, etc sound like a worthy goal I would definitely look into it!
