Hey Rachel!
Getting a biomedical degree will require many different courses from chemistry and biology to even computer programming and even some hardware classes. The biomedical field is quite broad and full of different tracks. You can get involved in robotic limbs or prosethetics.
I would mainly study STEM courses and see if you like it. You can even shadow in a Biomedical reserach lab to get a sense of what the day to day is like. Good luck!

Hi Rachel,
So when you get into college, they will give you a road map of the classes you should take to get this degree. A lot of it is basic courses that are required for everyone, but then there are more technical ones. At my university, you would end up taking a course in almost every engineering field. You would need to take classes on organic chemistry, drug delivery, cell and molecular biology, neural networking and many others. A computer science or coding class (since engineers are always analyzing things). An electronics class because most tools are somewhat intelligent and require electricity. A structures and materials class because it is important to understand how things move (especially if things are moving).
Google the university name you interested in and "Biomedical engineering Degree plan" and you can scroll through the names of the courses and get a great idea about it!
