Are you licensed to practice medicine then? I guess I'm confused as to why you would have an MD, then go on to pursue an engineering degree that earns you 1/3 of what you could make using your MD. If the position requires and MD, then it seems like it should at least pay market value for one. The fact that they are offering $85k when I thought it would be at least $100k more than that means that I must be missing something.

Depending on where you live, $85k seems like a decent starting salary for an Bio. Eng. On the other hand, it's really low for what I'd expect from a position requiring an MD. I think you're anchored to the $85k figure, so I wouldn't expect to negotiate much higher than that.
