The CMBES organizes national medical and biological engineering conferences in various cities across Canada. In addition, the CMBES conference sponsors seminars, which include peer-reviews, technical paper presentations, exhibits of current medical devices, a continuing education program, workshops, symposia, and networking opportunities.
The CMBES Clinical Engineering Standards of Practice was published in 1998. These guidelines outline criteria for health care institutions on the management of medical devices, promote the professional development of its members, and outline the education and certification requirements for clinical engineers and biomedical engineering technologists and technicians.
The Society actively represents the interests of biomedical and clinical engineering to various government agencies by providing advice, submitting briefs, and reviewing documents. These agencies include:
Accreditation Canada
Health Canada
Medical Devices Regulatory Committee
Ministries of Health
Canadian Hospital Association
CSA Health Technology Program
The CMBES facilitates communication among its membership and other agencies by regularly publishing a newsletter and the proceedings of all conferences and seminars. A career booklet is also available for guidance counselors and employment centers. The Society also maintains an information document pertaining to biomedical engineering education available in Canada.
