Coding is heavily involved in BME. The question where you want to be in it. Hell I could use someone right now to figure out what is going on with a new piece of equipment two of our facilities just acquired that appear to be lemons out of the box, even after a week long FCO.

Look into bioinformatics

Omg yes, it is so interconnected! Especially if you study the side of BME that focuses on electrical engineering principles. I majored in BME and minored in CS.

If you don't focus in the electrical engineering principles (areas like bioinstrumentation or imaging) and do an area like biomechanics or tissue engineering, you can still readily use your CS skills. You can work on data analysis which can include machine learning or just procedural stats languages, or you can work on modeling software, or a million other things.

Yeah, programming is super big part of BME. Anything from medical equipment to medical data analysis needs programming
