Engineers in Medicine was a club founded during the 3rd year of my undergrad by several classmates. The purpose of the group is to educate the public of the current state of the medical industry through conferences in which practitioners, researchers, and entrepreneurs spoke. These conferences would enable young, eager talent to be introduced to professional in the industry, and even provide valuable insight on what are issues that could be approached in the future.My purpose during the… Show more Engineers in Medicine was a club founded during the 3rd year of my undergrad by several classmates.

These conferences would enable young, eager talent to be introduced to professional in the industry, and even provide valuable insight on what are issues that could be approached in the future.My purpose during the first and second terms of this club was to bring its existence to the attention of the University of Waterloo student body, and promote interest in our conferences. I managed a group of 8 other students, and together we gathered a mailing list of over 100 members. Show less
