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 the 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.
