Abstract

Many women today are drawn to disciplines other than engineering. However, career choices for women in biomedical engineering and health informatics enable the application of engineering, computing, and information technology to support health care and medicine for the betterment of society. “I was delighted when the now former IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) president, Prof. Donna Hudson, appointed me as the inaugural EMBS Liaison on the IEEE Women in Engineering (WiE) Committee,” states Dr. Carolyn McGregor, Canada research chair in health informatics at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Ontario, Canada (Figure 1), and also EMBS?WiE leader for 2008/2009.
