What is the Biomedical Engineering Society?
The Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) is an interdisciplinary society established on February 1, 1968, in response to a need to provide a society representing both biomedical and engineering interests. The ongoing vision of the Society is to be recognized as the preeminent professional society for biomedical engineering and bioengineering. The Society’s mission is to provide value to its members and other constituencies by promoting the increase and utilization of biomedical engineering and bioengineering knowledge and by working for the advancement of the profession.
