The Pipeline Still Leaks and More Than You Think: A Status Report on Gender Diversity in Biomedical Engineering
No full textWhile the percentage of women in biomedical engineering is higher than in many other technical fields, it is far from being in proportion to the US population. The decrease in the proportion of women and underrepresented minorities in biomedical engineering from the bachelors to the masters to the doctoral levels is evidence of a still leaky pipeline in our discipline. In addition, the percentage of women faculty members at the assistant, associate and full professor levels remain disappointingly low even after years of improved recruitment of women into biomedical engineering at the undergraduate level. Worse, the percentage of women graduating with undergraduate degrees in biomedical engineering has been decreasing nationwide for the most recent three year span for which national data are available. Increasing diversity in biomedical engineering is predicted to have significant research and educational benefits. The barriers to women's success in biomedical engineering and strategies for overcoming these obstacles—and fixing the leaks in the pipeline—are reviewed

The Biomedical Engineering Quandary
No full textAbstractAs of this date, biomedical engineering has become arecognized profession. The full impact of its efforts in the healthrelated fields is just becoming visible to the leaders of the healthdelivery systems. As a profession it differs markedly from traditionalengineering disciplines; however, that is the reason it has come intobeing. The demand for individuals well trained in the biomedicalengineering sciences appears to be insatiable. This is due to thebelated recognition by many members of the health delivery systemhierarchy of the true role and contribution of the well-trained biomedicalengineer. This article discusses the sociological and technologicalfactors that have been influencial in the establishment ofthe science of biomedical engineering.7 Halama
A 2009 survey of the Australasian clinical medical physics and biomedical engineering workforce
No full textA survey of the Australasian clinical medical physics and biomedical engineering workforce was carried out in 2009 following on from a similar survey in 2006. 621 positions (equivalent to 575 equivalent full time (EFT) positions) were captured by the survey. Of these 330 EFT were in radiation oncology physics, 45 EFT were in radiology physics, 42 EFT were in nuclear medicine physics, 159 EFT were in biomedical engineering and 29 EFT were attributed to other activities. The survey reviewed the experience profile, the salary levels and the number of vacant positions in the workforce for the different disciplines in each Australian state and in New Zealand. Analysis of the data shows the changes to the workforce over the preceding 3 years and identifies shortfalls in the workforce

2020 Research Report Graduate School of Biomedical Science and Engineering
Get PDFThe Graduate School of Biomedical Science and Engineering, founded in 2006, is a unique collaborative graduate program comprising the five institutions which represent the biomedical research community within the state of Maine, with four private partnering institutions: The Jackson Laboratory, MDI Biological Laboratory, Maine Medical Center Research Institute, and the University of New England.
The program currently has 75 students, 71 alumni, and 195 faculty. It is the largest STEM Ph.D. program in Maine.
The GSBSE received a five-year $1.07 million NIH Institutional Research Training Grant (T32), titled “Transdisciplinary predoctoral training in biomedical science and engineering” in 2019. The predoctoral trainees of this program will be well-positioned to make fundamental discoveries and breakthroughs leading to significant advancements in human health and well-being.
GSBSE is providing the biomedical workforce of the future, supplying industry and academia in Maine and beyond with highly trained graduates. The graduates of the GSBSE programs go on to have successful careers in industry and academia, with 42% staying in Maine
