since much of biomedical engineering involves research in fields such as bioinformatics, computer science, statistics and chemistry it would be advisable if you do not already have one to obtain a degree in one of the following fields as a strat and direct your study and especially research in the direction of biomedical engineering

Speak with someone who is already in the field, to a career adviser in your school, try to get an interview in an institution teaching biomedical engineering. This is a very difficult and demanding profession that requires a background in many various fields and is still at the cutting edge of technology but can be very rewarding. I wish you lots of luck and success.

The best way to get into BME is, off course, to get a degree in BME. What you need is to have a solid scientific base - chemistry, physics, math and biology, and an engineering background - mechanical, electric, materials, etc

Actually BME is a field where you can start working or study with any science background, i.e. physics, chemistry, biology, medical science, mathematics and engineering. But the best way is to get a BME degree anyway. If you are from a non-engineering background, the course will be designed for you based on that. You probably will have to take more engineering/mathematics courses.  Similarly, if you are from engineering background like me, biology or medical science courses will be more emphasized in your coursework. So nothing to worry. This is broadly interdisciplinary field and really exciting and potential one. So you are welcome!
