Hello everybody! Its great to see so many other confused people such as myself! After graduating from medicine I decided that being a clinician is not the way to go for me and instead I would like to persure a career in Engineering. I have always found the field of mechatronics engineering fascinating. The idea of creating electromechanical products that can also be autonomous and serve the needs of mankind is exactly what I want to do for the rest of my life. Specially if it were in the medical sector. My problem is that i've spent the last 7 years getting my MB BSc in Medicine and I was hoping that i wouldn't have to spend another 4 or 5 years getting another bachelors. To play it safe, I applied to the SFU Mechatronics systems engineering program as a degree holder. All the mechatronics masters programs I have come across require the study of mechatronics or any related discipline prior to enrollment which I do not have. I was wondering if there was a Biomedical engineering masters that would accept my qualifications and would specific to the design of medical mechatronic devices. I don't mind some biology classes but I don't want to focus my study on the microscopic portion of biomedical engineering. The only medical engineering master's program i found was in the netherlands and coincidentaly was the only program that required dutch proficiancy.. I would ultimatly like to work on designing new medical surgical equipment and incorporate technology in the medical practices that need so much cheap help where I come from. Oh im an international student btw. Ideas please? What are my options?
