Integrated Biomedical Engineering & Health Sciences

The Integrated Biomedical Engineering & Health Sciences (iBioMed) program is a unique interdisciplinary program drawing on the strengths of two world-renowned Faculties at McMaster: Engineering and Health Sciences. The first of its kind in Canada, students enter the program through a common first year, where they will establish a strong foundation of skills and knowledge from both faculties, before selecting a specialization.

At McMaster University, we’re transforming healthcare challenges into a new learning experience with the Integrated Biomedical Engineering & Health Sciences (iBioMed) program.
