What is the Biomedical Engineering Society?
The Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) is an interdisciplinary society established on February 1, 1968 in response to a manifest need to provide a society that would represent both biomedical and engineering interests. The ongoing vision of the Society is “to be recognized as the preeminent full service 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.” These vision and mission statements were developed as part of a strategic planning process completed during the summer of 2002.
