What is EnMed?
Med School vs EnMed
We are a unique program that combines a doctorate in Medicine with a Masters in engineering. Our physicianeers are the future of both engineering technology and medical science.
Key Differences Between Medical School and the EnMed Program
| Traditional Medical School | EnMed Program |
|---|---|
| Focuses on clinical practice and patient care. | Combines clinical training with engineering and innovation. |
| Emphasizes diagnosis and treatment. | Trains students to design and implement solutions to medical challenges. |
| Prepares students for standard medical careers. | Prepares “physicianeers” to lead in healthcare innovation. |
| Requires MCAT and medical prerequisites. | Requires engineering/technical background in addition to MCAT. |
| No engineering or design component. | Includes hands-on prototyping and innovation training. |
