The Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) is the professional society for biomedical engineering and bioengineering. Founded in early 1968, the Society now boasts more than 4,000 members and is growing.We serve as the lead society and professional home for biomedical engineering and bioengineering. Our leadership in accreditation, potential licensure, publications, scientific meetings, global programs, and diversity initiatives, as well as our commitment to ethics, all serve our mission to promote and enhance knowledge and education in biomedical engineering and bioengineering worldwide and its utilization for human health and well-being.
BMES membership benefits start with significantly reduced registration rates at our high-quality annual scientific meeting each fall, offering more than 2,000 leading scientific presentations. BMES membership includes a subscription to the quarterly Bulletin, our member online newsletter; subscriptions to the Annals of Biomedical Engineering (ABME) scientific journal and Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering (CMBE); and a 30% savings on all Springer BME/BE texts.
Members received online access to our Career Center, whose job board now includes internships, and directories of membership, company, faculty, and student chapters. Career information and networking are also a significant part of our annual meetings.Our members-only webpage page includes tools for members, including our member segmented bulletin boards, listings of all events and other important BME programs, a calendar of important Society dates and deadlines, and polling and surveying capabilities.Other membership benefits include the opportunity to receive awards and recognition (including election to fellow), voting rights, and the opportunity to serve on leadership committees and other global initiatives in the Society to advance the field of biomedical engineering.
