UR BMES Student Chapter
Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) student chapters provide opportunities for students to establish leadership skills, boost their resume, network, publish, and participate in a wide range of career-enhancing activities.
BMES serves as the lead society and professional home for biomedical engineers and bioengineers. BMES membership has grown to over 6,700 members, with more than 110+ BMES Student Chapters, three Special Interest Groups (SIGs), and four professional journals. The goal of BMES is to "promote the profession of biomedical engineering through study, research and discussion of the fields of biomedical engineering."

Our BMES Chapter
The BMES student chapter at the University of Rochester provides a welcoming community where biomedical engineering students can connect with one another and explore topics and challenges unique to the field. We also facilitate the BME Undergraduate Mentorship Program, which helps students build supportive peer connections across class years.
Our chapter is active both on campus and in the Rochester community, hosting a variety of academic, social, and outreach events that promote professional development and foster a strong sense of community.
Some of our past events have included:
- Internship and post-undergrad panels
- Engineering mixers
- BME Industry Networking Night
- Annual BME Senior Banquet
- Annual BME Department Picnic in the Fall
