EnMed Admissions
The EnMed curriculum is a case-based format with integration of both medicine and engineering content to develop and improve students’ clinical reasoning and problem-solving skills through real-world examples.
EnMed Track Objectives
In addition to the Medical Education Program Objectives (MEPOs), EnMed students are required to achieve the following track objectives:
- Demonstrate knowledge of biomedical innovation and entrepreneurship principles and processes for the advancement of patient care.
- Describe principles of drug and device development with experimental biostatistics and clinical trial design and bioinformatics.
- Develop models demonstrating knowledge of design principles, technical project management, and regulatory & reimbursement strategies.
- Utilize engineering principles and medical knowledge to advance bio-medicine and health.
The EnMed admissions process is administered by the College of Medicine at Texas A&M University
- A baccalaureate in engineering or computer science from an accredited institution in the U.S. and/or its territories
(May consider other degrees, such as physics and chemistry, provided there is evidence of interest and activity or research related to engineering design and/or device innovation.) - U.S. citizenship or U.S. Permanent Residency (Green Card Holders)
- Prerequisite Courses

EnMed is educating a new kind of doctor with an engineering mindset-a physician engineer, or “physicianeer” – who will be uniquely qualified to make significant contributions to the transformation of health care through design and development of innovative medical technologhies to address health care’s greatest challenges. It’s the nation’s first fully-integrated engineering and medical education curriculum accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), and allows graduates to receive both a doctorate of medicine and master’s in engineering in four years. While the inaugural class is set to begin in 2019, three students joined the program in 2017 to serve as the pilot class.
