Societies

The Biomedical Engineering Society
The Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) is the professional society for biomedical engineering and bioengineering. Founded in early 1968, the Society now boasts nearly 6,500 members and is growing, rapidly.

BMES serves as the lead society and professional home for biomedical engineering and bioengineering. Our leadership in accreditation, potential licensure, publications, scientific meetings, global programs, and diversity initiatives, as well as our commitment to ethics, all serve our mission to promote and enhance knowledge and education in biomedical engineering and bioengineering worldwide and its utilization for human health and well-being.
The American Physiological Society
The American Physiological Society (APS) is a nonprofit devoted to fostering education, scientific research, and dissemination of information in the physiological sciences. The Society was founded in 1887 with 28 members. APS now has over 10,500 members.

Most members have doctoral degrees in physiology and/or medicine. APS is governed by an elected Council consisting of a President, President-Elect, Past President, and nine Councillors. The National headquarters of the Society is based in Bethesda, Maryland, on the campus of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB).
The Physiological Society
The Physiological Society promote physiology and support those working in the field by organising world-class scientific meetings, offering grants for research, collaboration and international travel, and by publishing the latest developments in our leading scientific journals, The Journal of Physiology,

Experimental Physiology and Physiological Reports. The Society also runs events for the general public on how physiology relates to everyday life, and for students who may be considering physiology as a career.

Membership is available for all career stages, from undergraduate level to senior level scientists.

The Society is a charitable organisation, with stated charitable objects and aims which are of public benefit. We are an independent and apolitical organisation.

Blogs

Opening Doors: A Biomedical Science Blog!
Opening Doors: A Biomedical Science Blog! This blog is a collection of news, stories, and information about the biomedical science degree program at National University of Health Sciences.

Biomedical science includes any course of scientific study related to biology as it affects health care. It includes classes such as physiology, anatomy, epidemiology, biochemistry, nutrition and kinesiology. Biomedical sciences are the foundation of knowledge for all health care professionals.
The Acta Physiologica Blog
The Scandinavian Physiological Society publishes the scientific journal ”Acta Physiologica” in collaboration with Wiley-Blackwell. Acta Physiologica is one of the oldest physiology journals still published.

It started 1889–1939 under the name “Skandinavisches Archiv für Physiologie”, the name was then changed to Acta Physiologica Scandinavica 1940–2005, and from 2006 Acta Physiologica. Acta Physiologica is the official Journal of the Federation of European Physiological Societies (FEPS).
Human Medical Physiology
A blog that contains lecture notes in human medical physiology for students of medicine and health sciences .Sample exams and key answers are also available . The aim of this blog is to provide the students with a quick , brief , and precise review , instead of wasting time and efforts reviewing the textbooks .
