The Bachelor of Biomedicine just got better. At the undergraduate level, the Bachelor of Biomedicine is ideal preparation for a career in medicine and professional health. While doing the Bachelor of Biomedicine has never been a compulsory or privileged path to the Doctor of Medicine (MD), it’s a good strategy – especially when you’re following your passion. The recently announced changes to the MD curriculum1 make this strategy more salient by providing you with a firm foundation in biomedical sciences.
