Rising BME Scholars Regional Conference 2024

June 19 - 21, 2024

The 2024 Rising BME Scholars Regional Career Conference is part of a collaborative effort to recruit, strengthen, and diversify the next generation of academic researchers and educators in biomedical engineering.

This event will give participants the opportunity to learn from faculty and from each other about pathways to professional success and reward in academic careers.

Faculty and career sponsors from partnering institutions will be on-site to answer questions about academic careers in BME. Networking events and poster sessions will allow time for faculty-scholar interactions across a broad range of BME departments and universities.

Participants will have their travel and lodging covered and will receive an honorarium.
