2018
SBME at UBC had a great showing at the BMES annual meeting Oct 18-20th. We loved being in the Canadian section in the exhibition hall with McGill, UofT and UofC. The first (hopefully annual) pan-Canadian reception was fun too!
The School of Biomedical Engineering will be joining the Canadian Graduate Engineering Consortium (http://www.engineeringgradstudies.com/) on a cross-Canada fall tour this year. Watch for SBME representatives at the Fair in Ontario, Quebec and Alberta in the next week from September 24 - October 2, 2018.
To attend the event at UBC on October 3, 2018 please register at https://engineering.ubc.ca/gradschoolfair.

On May 31, 2018, more than 300 people attended a daytime symposium and evening reception at UBC to celebrate the official launch of the School of Biomedical Engineering – a partnership between the faculties of medicine and applied science. The celebration boosted our momentum toward BME@UBC’s vision – to build health from biology. UBC’s success in biomedical engineering over the past four decades gives BME@UBC tremendous opportunity for national and international leadership moving forward. Our valued partnerships and collaborations will strengthen a nucleus of excellence in education, research and innovation at the convergence of biology and technology, applied to solve real-world health challenges.

Great launch symposium for the new UBC School of Biomed Engineering. Inspiring talks and posters. If I were starting UBC now as an undergrad, I would prolly have applied to this program. @BME_UBC #BMEGENESIS #biomedengineering pic.twitter.com/fKNWuFMY6e
