About Us
What's our mission
statement?
"To promote awareness of
biomedical engineering knowledge and its utilization," is our national
goal. The Johns Hopkins University chapter of the Biomedical
Engineering Society (BMES) is a student run chapter of the national BMES
organization. Our purpose and goal is to increase awareness within
the academic community about current events in the biomedical
engineering (BME) world. BMES is an organization that caters not
only towards those in the BME community, but also to those interested in
this ever-changing field. As the local chapter of BMES, we work to
inform and publicize exciting developments as they emerge. In
order to accomplish this goal we will hold a series of events and
meetings. These events currently include: graduate and medical
school information sessions, publishing articles on biotech
opportunities for students, guest speakers, social events and a spring
picnic, all of which previously welcomed more than 150-200 students and
faculty members. We hold information sessions where pre-med
advisors, graduate school professors, and peers speak out to the
students about the academic, personal and social issues involved in
becoming a professional in their area of interest. Aside from
listening, it is also very important for students to speak with and meet
other students in similar positions. In the spring we sponsor a
spring picnic where students can come mingle and ask questions about
classes, professors, or any problems in general. By attending
these events, our organization is certain that the entire Hopkins
community will benefit in some way and be better prepared for their
future."
