What is BMES?
The Biomedical Engineering Society, or BMES, is both a professional 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 resources for the MCAT, classes, résumé building, research, and internships.
