The BMES Mentorship Program, led by the Student Affairs Subcommittee, connects members across career stages to support professional development, foster meaningful connections, and strengthen the biomedical engineering community.
Through personalized mentor–mentee pairings, the program creates opportunities for students, trainees, and early-career professionals to receive guidance from experienced members of the field. Participants gain valuable insights into academic pathways, industry careers, research opportunities, and leadership development within biomedical engineering.

Applications for the 2026 BMES Mentorship Cohort will open soon. Stay tuned for details.

Program Overview

The BMES Mentorship Program is designed to provide structured support and networking opportunities for members interested in learning from others in the biomedical engineering community.
Participants will be matched based on shared interests, career goals, and areas of expertise, helping create productive and meaningful mentorship relationships. Throughout the program, mentors and mentees are encouraged to engage in regular conversations focused on professional growth, skill development, and career exploration.
To support these interactions, the Student Affairs Subcommittee provides a mentorship curriculum and conversation guides throughout the year. These resources help participants navigate discussions on topics such as career planning, research opportunities, graduate school preparation, leadership development, and work–life balance.
