I think it's possible to get a Masters in Biomedical engineering even if you got an undergrad in life/health sciences in some universities including McMaster (M.A.Sc not M.Eng)

Yes, it is. UofT is another school that has this option. |

Question about applying to the PA program

Hi, do you happen to have any information about the PA program? I'm considering this as my fall-back to med school, and to be honest it seems like this may actually turn out to be my Plan A (with med school as Plan B). I looked at the academic requirements for Mac, but I was wondering if you also knew about the program at UofT...they said something about one year of professional healthcare experience prior to applying. Does Mac have a similar requirement, and if so how would I get that experience being an undergrad student with little credentials for professional healthcare? |

If your interested in other things go for it. You can always apply to medical school at the end of the day. Look around at other courses, minors, majors etc. Theres a lot more to do than you think. If your parents were like mine and said; Doctor, Engineer and Lawyer don't be afraid to tell them what you really want to do. I told my parents and they said, we just pushed you to those careers so you work hard, and it damn well worked and still works although I have opened my eyes to other careers.

The PA program seems like a closer facsimile than nursing, I've been pretty impressed by what they can be allowed to do clinically.
