Biomedical engineers do not need medical knowledge comparable to that of doctors but a strong foundational base in biology, chemistry, and physiology to come up with the necessary medical devices and solutions by combining that medical knowledge with engineering principles. A strong understanding of how the human body works allows biomedical engineers to design purposeful devices to address healthcare needs.
