About BMES

The Mission of the Biomedical Engineering Society at the University of Florida is to build and support the biomedical engineering community, locally and nationally, with activities designed to communicate recent advances, discoveries, and inventions, promote education and professional development, and integrate the perspectives of the academic, medical, governmental, and industry business sectors. 

The purpose of the Biomedical Engineering Society is to explore and promote academic and career interests within the field of biomedical engineering and to provide students with more information regarding various opportunities and experiences. 

This is accomplished through our five involvement areas: General Body Meetings, Academic Achievement, Internal Affairs, Outreach, and Recruitment. For more information about each of these areas, to check your membership standing, and to read our active membership policy, check out our Involvement pages.

For upcoming events, please see our Calendar.
