Just like akashranpura, I am also still in my senior year of undergrad. A lot of the posters above say to do an internship, and I do believe this will be valuable if the person is working as a BME. However, I am a pre-med in hopes of attending medical school next fall, and I do not know if it will be exactly useful. While I do agree that it will be helpful to understand the realm of BME, it won’t pertain to me in the future. However, I would say that research is definitely valuable like the others said above. I do understand that research is not for everyone, but it can provide useful to figuring out your future profession. Since my undergraduate career is almost over, I would tell myself to take every opportunity that came to me. I hear a lot of people tell me to explore other options besides medicine, and they could be right. So I would give the advice to explore all your options and test out the waters for each aspect in BME.
