This is a small setting to bring together engineers, scientists, and clinicians to be familiar with where everybody is coming from. It is a unique setting, excellent to get together people with different backgrounds
My memory of the first RMBS is how impressed I was by all the people doing work in the biomedical field I was not aware of [...] with people from all around the Rocky Mountain Area and the Plains presenting fascinating work. [...] Make sure you include a bunch of people in your reserarch: you will learn more from other people than you'll ever learn from your experiments and literature searches
RMBS is about mentoring, about service, about science, but most of all it is all about the people
The Rocky Mountain Bioengineering Symposium was an exceptional experience for me. The opportunity to engage with fellow professionals, researchers, and experts in the field of bioengineering was invaluable. The symposium provided a platform for insightful discussions, networking, and learning from cutting-edge research and advancements in bioengineering. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing event
IBSIS-RMBS is a symposium like no other covering all aspects of biomedical engineering, from aerospace medicine and bioinstrumentation, to the latest trends in machine learning and imaging processing, from clinical engineerring to the current challenges in education. Attending this annual symposium is a unique and special experience that you cannot find anywhere else. Unlike other conferences, you are not just an attendee, but an active participant. Whether you are an undergraduate or graduate student, a post-doc, an established professor or a professional, you get the same opportunity to present your work, ask and answer questions, and interact with everyone. [...] If you haven't had a chance to atteend the RMBS symposium yet, we highly recommend it. It's an incredible opportunity to learn about the latest research in biomedical engineering, network with other professionals in the field and participate in a truly unique experience.
It is one of the things I've always loved about RMBS: I come to RMBS and I never know what I am going to hear about. [...] It is just amazing, you get to hear from people from all over. [...] I came to RMBS in the 90s as a Ph.D. student, presented a paper, participated in the Contest (RMBS is well known for the Contest) and all it took was once, I saw the group and the kind of things they talked about and I just kept coming back.
[...] Back in 1963 RMBS was the only game in town. That is not true now, there are a lot of professional technical societies that have some interest or some pieces of the bioengineering world, so there is a lot of competition out there, but I would always come to RMBS first,
Why RMBS? To me, it's the people, it's like a family, The feeling of support, camaraderie, professional support is just amazing, [...] The RMBS contest is the most fair, open, transparent student contest I have ever seen. I tell students this is the best place to present their work in an environment that will support them, but also challenge them. The size of the conference is also its strength. it is not a big one, so you get to talk to people.
What really sets RMBS apart is the willingness to listen and talk about things that may not be yet in the mainstream. For example in the late 90s early 2000s, Dr. Paul Frenger was talking about what is known called A.I. You heard it here first!
