What is BMES?

The Biomedical Engineering Society, or BMES is both a profession and social organization for students interested in biomedical engineering. The organization strives to promote camaraderie and coherence between members of the biomedical engineering community, to increase awareness of the growing field of BME, and to open doors of opportunity to our members.

Membership is open to all students, faculty, and staff of the University of Texas at Austin regardless of their area of study.

Why Join?

Knowledge: Members learn more about MCAT/LSAT/GRE tests, classes, resume building, research, and internships.

Leadership: BMES has several leadership opportunities for both old and new members, including freshmen. Chair positions are appointed in the Fall, and a Freshmen Representative is elected to represent the organization in the Student Engineering Council.

Networking: BMES offers networking opportunites with faculty, industry, alumni, and peers.

Relax: BMES allows for incoming students as well as current students to meet and interact in a non-academic setting. Our members work hard every day and deserve to have some fun.
