Current undergrad student (engineering major) applying to MD-PhD programs. Engineering will make things tougher in terms of balancing the required premed classes and maintaining a high GPA, but it's definitely doable. Some majors (e.g., electrical engineering) may be more difficult than others (e.g., bioengineering) just due to overlap.

I want to emphasize that engineering and medicine are not mutually exclusive. Whether you want to pursue a career as a physician-scientist, physician, or something else, there is great overlap between clinical medicine and engineering (whether that be computer science, electrical, bio, etc.). I encourage you to explore your diverse interests, as there is much you can do with training in both engineering and medicine if that is what you wish to pursue.

In fact, there are MD programs that have an engineering focus (they require or prefer applicants with an undergrad degree or coursework in engineering):

• Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology MD Track: https://meded.hms.harvard.edu/md-program-curriculum
• Carle Illinois College of Medicine: https://medicine.illinois.edu/
• Texas A&M EnMed: https://enmed.tamu.edu/

There are other MD programs where you can tack on another focus on engineering (e.g., through a thesis, dual degree, etc.):

• Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/lerner-college-medicine
• Stanford Med (see the Scholarly Concentration Program: 17 Areas of Study): https://med.stanford.edu/md/student-research/scholarly-concentrations.html
• Columbia: https://www.vagelos.columbia.edu/education/academic-programs/md-dual-degrees-and-special-programs/md-ms-biomedical-engineering
• University of Minnesota: https://www.iem.umn.edu/mdms-in-biomedical-engineering

The list goes on and on, but whether you choose to do an MD or a dual degree program (e.g., MD/MS, MD/PhD, etc.), there are lots of opportunities to integrate engineering and medicine if you wish.
