Welcome to the 2024 Class of the AIMBE College of Fellows! You have been successfully peer-nominated, elected, and are about to be inducted into this prestigious group of outstanding medical and biological engineering leaders. It is a public honor to be recognized in the AIMBE College of Fellows. You have achieved a high-level of success and made significant contributions to the field. Now is the time to not only stand-up and be recognized by your esteemed peers, but also give back to the very field that brought you to this pinnacle of success. Engaging in AIMBE allows you to advocate for public policies that advance medical and biological engineering, educate the public about the field, and inspire the next generation of researchers to stand up for science. I encourage you to get involved early and often. I look forward to welcoming you to the AIMBE College of Fellows during the Induction Ceremony on Monday, March 25 at the Renaissance Hotel Arlington.
Sincerely,
Mike

Congratulations on your election into the College of Fellows! Please note that you are not considered a Fellow until you participate, in person, in the induction ceremony. Upon your induction, you will join an elite group of the most accomplished and distinguished scientists, academic researchers, and clinical practitioners in the fields of medical and biological engineering.
AIMBE’s Annual Event is recognized as an acclaimed interdisciplinary scientific symposium and includes the induction of newly elected Fellows, as well as networking and social gatherings for leaders in the field of medical and biological engineering. It is a two-day meeting with scientific lectures on Sunday afternoon and the induction ceremony and policy sessions on Monday. This year all Sunday and Monday events are held at the Renaissance Hotel. A highlight of Sunday’s program is our Awards Banquet and the presentation of AIMBE’s most prestigious award, the Pierre Galletti Award, and Monday’s main event will be your induction ceremony.
Details about AIMBE will be provided at the New Inductee Orientation Session on Sunday morning. During this orientation, information will also be provided about the specific details of the induction ceremony.
New inductees often bring family members to the induction ceremony. We also hope you will join other AIMBE Fellows in using the website to request an appointment with your federal lawmakers while you are in DC. The government affairs portion of our Annual Event website provides information on submitting a request as well as talking points and meeting details.
Dress for the event is business attire. Make the most of meeting new colleagues during the event by attending the Annual Banquet, making introductions at networking breaks, and joining the President’s Circle Saturday night at the hotel bar. Rotate where you sit in the meeting and introduce yourself to others around you. Arrange in advance dinner plans with old friends or new colleagues. Also consider attending one of the committee meetings. All council and committee events are open to all attendees.
AIMBE’s mission is to recognize excellence, advance public understanding, and accelerate medical and biological engineering innovation. AIMBE is honored to bring together the most accomplished leaders in the field through the College of Fellows to carry-out this mission. The duty of an AIMBE Fellow, once elected into the College, is to “give back” in order to further advance the field. AIMBE Fellow annual dues support the mission of the organization and allow us to provide a variety of programs that engage scientists, policy makers, and the public. New Fellow inductees are required to make their initiation fees, by November 30, 2023.
We sincerely appreciate your dedication to the fields of MBE and support of AIMBE’s mission.
Dear AIMBE Fellows,
We appreciate the support our Fellows make toward AIMBE and its initiatives. Your service enhances the impact of AIMBE’s work and enables its vital role to advance medical and biological engineering for the benefit of society.
In honor of your dedication to AIMBE, Fellows are recognized during an invitation-only reception at AIMBE’s Annual Event. This year’s President’s Circle Reception will feature Special Guest Dr. Bruce Tromberg and take place in the historic Library of Congress.
AIMBE Fellows in the fields of medical and biological engineering take time out of their busy schedules in the classroom and in their labs to educate lawmakers about the importance of publicly funded scientific endeavors. We feel a strong connection to the mission of the Library of Congress… ”to inspire, inform, and engage in creative and intellectual endeavors,” making this the perfect backdrop for the reception.
All Fellows interested in joining the President’s Circle Reception, please email me at: jwong@aimbe.org.

This year AIMBE is happy to offer direct scheduling support to make it easier for Fellows to meet with their representatives on Capitol Hill. While these slots are now full, AIMBE also makes it easy to personally request a Congressional appointment during the Annual Event. Enter your name, address, email and zip code to access the draft meeting request email. Only you can request an appointment and this app makes it easy. Your Member of Congress and two Senators will be identified. The message requesting the meeting is simple and straightforward. You can edit the draft meeting invitation or simply click the Submit Message button to send your message.
Congressional staff will contact you directly regarding your meeting that may be with the Member of Congress or their staff. Please note, meetings with staff are nearly as valuable as with the elected official, so please confirm all appointments that are offered, regardless of time as you can step out of the AIMBE programming to make a quick trip to Capitol Hill and back. Please click here to access your AIMBE congressional talking points.

Looking forward to meeting you in DC,
Dawn
