The Distinguished Lectureship is awarded each year
to an individual to recognize outstanding achievements
and leadership in the science and practice of biomedical
engineering. The awardee is expected to deliver a plenary
lecture at the Annual Fall Meeting and publish the text
of the lecture in the Annals of Biomedical Engineering.
A very important purpose of the lecture is to critically
review a field of biomedical engineering and offer a
vision of its future. The award will consist of $1000,
a plaque, registration for the meeting, and travel expenses
up to $1000.
1. The award is intended to recognize a high level of originality and
leadership in an area of biomedical engineering. The awardee may have
achieved excellence in biomedical engineering by contributions within
the setting of the university, industry, or government.
2. The solicitation of nominations for the award will be announced
in the BMES Bulletin on a timely basis.
3. The contributions of the awardee do not need to precede the award
date by any specific period of time.
4. The Awards Committee will screen the nominations, critically evaluate
the nominee's records, and submit a rank ordered list of the top three
nominees to the BMES President. The President in consultation with the
Long Range Planning Committee will select the awardee.
Please submit a letter describing the nominee's service to biomedical
engineering by June 1 to:
