Some schools have Intro to Engineering. The class touches on many disciplines and gives students a taste of what is out there to learn. If you get through that and still want to investigate further, it would be best to talk to a counselor who can help you plan. Some of the best orthopedic people have an understanding of engineering and are currently working on prosthetics and newly designed artificial joints. A surgeon who knows his way around tools and understands biologic interaction could be a very desirable and in demand person to have on a hospital staff.
