Inaugural BMES Symposium
Innovating the Future of Healthcare through Engineering
Where engineering meets healthcare.
The 2026 BMES Symposium brought our chapter together around the intersection of engineering and medicine. The program connected clinical perspectives, industry conversations, research, and student innovation.
Faculty and clinical talks, an industry perspective, a graduate panel, and student research posters formed a day designed to help students explore biomedical engineering beyond the classroom.
