I just graduated form the University of Maryland at College Park with a degree in Electrical Engineering. I know a few people who went into all different kinds of engineering that plan on or are attending medical school. Although I haven't done any research into what the entrance requirements are, pretty much the only classes that these people were missing was Biology and Organic Chemistry (depends on the major). Many of them actually feel as if engineering gives them a different outlook on the field since they have learned a different style of thinking than most of the Biology, Chemistry and other more traditional majors associated with medical school. If you want to try engineering and don't like it, you always have the option of going to medical school. If you find that you really want to work in engineering you can also do that too! One of the big areas where technology will continue to grow will be in health care, and there are many bio-med companies out there looking for engineers who have an interest in the way the body works.
Hope this helps some.
