Learn about how candidates are nominated, reviewed, and elected to the College of Fellows. Find out how AIMBE is more than just an honorific society but an engaged community impacting public policy on medical innovation and discovery. Meet new colleagues in the Class of 2022 and get insight on the induction ceremony.

Affiliated organization of the Chairs of Biomedical Engineering Programs. By invitation only to members of the Council of Chairs.

President Tejal Desai will highlight the past, and provide inspiration on the future challenges, facing medical and biological engineering. While dealing with the rush of daily activities, it is too easy to overlook significant changes and mounting threats to biomedical discovery and innovation.

The hallmark of AIMBE’s meeting are the strong scientific lectures presenting new understanding and on a wide variety of medical and biological engineering issues. These lectures match the depth and breadth of AIMBE’s diverse membership from innovative materials, imaging, and cellular engineering to bioinformatics, medical devices, and neuroengineering.

Each year AIMBE hosts this most significant scientific lecture to kick off its Annual Meeting. The Earl Bakken Lecture is AIMBE’s most meaningful scientific lecture providing both insight and illumination to the grand scientific challenges of biomedical research.

With leadership from a prominent Fellow, probing questions challenge a panel of experts to address serious questions facing biomedical innovation and push them for ideas and recommendations for how the field can respond.

One of AIMBE’s most engaged groups is the Academic Council. This council is made up of Chairs and designated representatives of each of AIMBE’s member colleges and universities engaged in biomedical engineering education. This meeting is open to all.

The Industry Council is made up of all Fellows that work at private industry. This annual gathering of the council involves networking with new and old colleagues as they discuss current topics on the commercialization of biomedical innovations. This meeting is open to all.

A critical pillar of AIMBE’s membership is the Council of Societies where leadership and representatives of member Societies coordinate activities and formulate collaborative partnerships. This meeting will address the current best practices of member societies for addressing and advancing issues of diversity and inclusion within their memberships. This open discussion is open to all.

One of the highlights of each year’s event is AIMBE’s Awards Banquet and the presentation of the Pierre Galletti Award. A relaxing evening of connecting with old friends and networking with new associates is a prelude to the award presentations, including the Pierre Galletti Award, AIMBE’s highest recognition of an individual for their contributions to public awareness of medical and biological engineering. Other awards include the AIMBE STEM Award and Professional Impact Awards.

Hosted by the Academic Council and Industry Council, this networking reception is open to all.

Susan Margulies, Chair of the College of Fellows, will present the annual state of the field of medical and biological engineering address providing a glimpse back as a perspective for the challenges ahead for the study and teaching of biomedical engineering

The uniqueness of AIMBE’s Annual Meeting is the combination of strong scientific lectures on Sunday and informative policy discussions on Monday. From government officials to lobbyists and corporate spokespersons, the policy concerns and issues of medical and biological engineers are discussed.

A prominent government insider will share perspective on Congress and the Administration’s actions related to biomedical research and innovation, including formation of a new NIH ARPA-H Institute.

The highlight of each year’s Annual Event is the ceremony inducting the newest members of the College of Fellows. The Class of 2022 were peer-nominated, peer-reviewed, and peer-elected and now join a prestigious group of the most accomplished medical and biological engineers.

Join family and friends in a lunch celebration in honor of the new 2022 Class of the College of Fellows.

Assistance will be given to all registrants to set up appointments and meet with their federal lawmakers or their staff on Capitol Hill. These meetings are often identified as the most rewarding aspect of attending the Annual Meeting as Fellows share their research and discuss biomedical innovation. Talking points and briefing sheets will be provided.
