About Us
Join some of the most innovative and driven students in biomedical engineering
Outreach + Research + Events
The Virginia Tech-Wake Forest University Biomedical Engineering Society (VT-WFU BMES) club is a unique way for students to become involved in outreach projects, research collaborations, and social events with other biomedical engineering students, faculty, staff, and industry.
"As a first year grauate student, BMES has provided excellent opportunities to meet and interact with other biomedical engineering graduate students both at Virginia Tech and Wake Forest University. I have truly enjoyed participating in fun activities with my peers, as well as encouraging interest in STEM in younger age groups through outreach activities. I look forward to making new connections through BMES with collaborative events such as the Student Symposium and the BMES Annual Meeting." - Allison Nelson (VT BMES Chapter Treasurer)
Mission
Our mission is to encourage the development, dissemination, integration, and utilization of knowledge in biomedical engineering, as well as to enhance interaction within the scientific community.
Our chapters offer unique ways for students to become involved in outreach projects, research collaborations, and social events with other biomedical engineering students, faculty, staff, and industry. With over 117 local and 74 national members, we are involved in many service and outreach projects within the local community in addition to participating annually at the BMES National Meeting.
