Election to the AIMBE College of Fellows is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to a
medical and biological engineer. The College of Fellows is comprised of the top two percent of medical
and biological engineers. College membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions
to “engineering and medicine research, practice, or education” and to “the pioneering of new and
developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of medical and
biological engineering, or developing/implementing innovative approaches to bioengineering
education.”

Prize laureates, 17 Fellows having received the Presidential Medal of Science and/or Technology and
Innovation, and 158 also inducted to the National Academy of Engineering, 72 inducted to the National
Academy of Medicine and 31 inducted to the National Academy of Sciences.
