Rocky Mountain Bioengineering Symposium Inc.

We informally began in 1963 as a group of visionaries, primarily from the Rocky Mountain area. We were all interested in the then emerging field of biomedical engineering and we wanted to improve the exchange of knowledge and ideas about medicine, engineering and especially instrumentation sciences among ourselves as well as other professionals and students. So, in September 1965 we were officially incorporated as the Rocky Mountain Bioengineering Symposium, Inc. at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado by Dr. Richard (Dick) J. Gowen, Dr. Joseph C. Daniel Jr. and Carl A. Hedberg. Thus, the Rocky Mountain Bioengineering Symposium (RMBS) began, not as a conference, but as a symposium. In times when meetings, conferences and journals are sprouting all over the globe and becoming more and more specialized, we pride ourselves for covering all aspects of biomedical engineering, from the traditional aerospace medicine and bioinstrumentation to the latest trends in machine learning and image processing, from clinical engineering to the current challenges in education.
