Hey!
Good question. I think unless you want to be a medical doctor or registered nurse stay away from pre med.... Or unless you want to design medical equipment with your bio engineering degree to fix issues you may learn about while I med school.
Bio enegineerinng should place you where'd you want to be. I suggest atudying trending fields of you want to add challenge to your degree. For example data science
Thanks

Unless you want to actually practice medicine, going to med school after biomedical engineering is completely unnecessary.
William’s Answer
If you are thinking about going into Biomedical Engineering with the idea in mind of applying your engineering skills to the biological sciences, it makes great sense to me that you have a strong foundation in the biological sciences. Taking pre-med courses would give you that foundation. Going this route however, is arduous.

No. If you are certain that BioMed is where you want to go and you do not want to go to Med School, then focus your curriculum on courses that will improve your case for graduate school.
