Atlantic Canada Clinical Engineering Society

The Atlantic Canada Clinical Engineering Society (ACCES) officially came to exist in April 2008. 

As ACCES’s first president I am pleased to have the opportunity to recognize the efforts of the many volunteers who worked behind the scenes for those first 18 months before our official launch. Without their support and vision this would not have been possible.  I would especially like to thank the team in Moncton, and particularly Paul Auffrey for his dedication and determination which launched and continually delivered the Moncton Biomedical Conference for more than a decade.

The staff at Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital celebrated Biomed May 22nd to 28th.

As part of Biomed they set up a the following display outside the Cafeteria.

Special Thanks to Mike Smith and Zandra Rubinger.

A Great Success

The first ever national Clinical Engineering week was announced by the Canadian Medical and Biological Engineering Society (CMBES) this past winter. The week is intended to recognize the biomedical engineering technologists, technicians, clinical engineers and other medical technology professional that uniquely serve Canadian healthcare and patients. The inaugural week dates, March 1-8, were chosen to coincide with National Engineering week.
