Objective

Evaluate our collective goals for biomedical engineering education and to develop approaches to our challenges as we navigate an evolving student population with different teaching, motivational, and support needs. Building diversity in the biomedical engineering workforce will be integrated throughout the program.

Pre-conference Survey

For an inclusive conference, we will be surveying the BME community for input on timely and necessary themes and topics to include in the final program. Look for the survey in the second half of April 2023.

Outcomes

• Generate publications from each Summit theme to capture approaches to current challenges and best practices to submit to the Journal of Biomedical Engineering Education.
• Record the conference sessions as a reference for individuals that could not attend the conference or all sessions.

Summit Format for each Theme

• Opening expert plenary presentation
• Session A: 6 parallel subtopic roundtable discussions
• Session B: Repeat of session A, rotating attendees
• Refreshment Break
• Summary and outcome reporting from each subtopic roundtable.

Registration

Will open in early 2024. Up to three registrants per Institution are welcomed. After registration deadline, open registration up to 500 attendees.
