BURP is a summer research program for undergraduate students in Biomedical Engineering, coordinated by BMEG. The program offers weekly tutorials, social and networking opportunities, and a research symposium at the end of the summer to showcase student work. 

BURP helps students build research skills, connect with peers and mentors, and engage with the BME community.

BMEG helps coordinate and run the ABBME Conference, an annual event that brings together students, researchers, and professionals from across Alberta.

Our team supports:

• Planning and logistics

• Abstract submissions and review

• Session moderation and speaker coordination

• Social and networking events during the conference

ABBME is a key opportunity for students to present research, connect with the broader BME community, and gain experience in academic event organization.

BMEG supports students in their academic and career growth through a variety of professional development opportunities.
Our 2024 1st Year Representative has compiled a curated list of resources to help students explore and pursue their goals. 

Through this initiative, students can access:

• Career advising and planning tools

• Skill-building workshops and certification programs

• Professional communities and online forums

• Internship opportunities and experiential learning options

• Other valuable resources for personal and professional growth

This collection of opportunities empowers students to develop new skills, expand their networks, and prepare for future careers in biomedical engineering and beyond.

BMEG is committed to helping first-year students feel supported as they transition into graduate student life in the biomedical engineering program. Our 2026 1st Year Representatives have created a comprehensive guide designed to help new students navigate their first year with confidence. 

Through this guide, students can find:

• Academic tips and study resources for first-year courses

• Advice on balancing coursework, extracurriculars, and personal life

• Information on getting involved in BMEG and campus communities

• Key university services and support resources

• Helpful insights from upper-year student experiences

This guide serves as a go-to resource for first-year students, providing practical tools and guidance to build a strong foundation for success in biomedical engineering and beyond.
