Welcome!
The Santa Clara Chapter of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology
provides the opportunity to stay informed about developments in
technology and medicine associated with all types of biomedical
engineering.
Local Chapter Meetings
Monthly meetings feature technical presentations of broad interest, combined with opportunities to chat with others of like interests. Meetings are free and open to all. Participants include electrical
engineers, mechanical engineers, software engineers, entrepreneurs,
scientist, physicians, marketers, and managers. Professionals and
students with experience or interest in medical devices, diagnostics,
medicine, nanotechnology, medical informatics, or biotech are
invited.
Meetings are usually scheduled for the third Wednesday of each month (except
July, August, and December). See our upcoming presentations page and the bay area Grid calendar.
An optional dinner with the speaker precedes each meeting, and you are invited. We gather in the
Stanford Hospital cafeteria at 6:15 pm. No reservation is
needed.
The formal presentation is 7:30 - 8:30 pm. Afterwards, you are invited to
join in discussion and networking over refreshments.
Meeting Location
The usual meeting location is the Clark Center Auditorium. Clark Center is just a few yards from the old meeting location in the South-West end of the Stanford Hospital and Medical School (Clark Center is marked "C" in the lower-left of this Stanford Hospital map, near the Medical School, marked "M."). Click here for
directions to the Clark Center. Also, see this
Hospital vicinity road map.
The new Clark Center building, home to Stanford's Bio-X program, is an open, glass building, shaped like a "U." The auditorium lies beneath the central courtyard, and is accessible from outdoors via a staircase there. (Wheelchair access is via a nearby elevator; please ask one of the volunteers upon arrival for access.)
On occasion, the meeting takes place in room M114 of the Medical School ("M" on the Stanford Hospital map).
Parking is free after 4pm right next to the Clark Center (on the west side, lots A, C, etc.) near Fairchild Auditorium. Note also there is a parking structure East of Clark that usually has open visitor spaces.
Or, if you are coming early for dinner, you could park at the Stanford
hospital parking structure off Pasteur Drive and Blake Wilbur Drive; this is closer to the Cafeteria, but there is a fee.
Other Events
Events that fall outside of the local EMBS chapter are also announced here, such as the Stanford Biodesign Seminars. See the link above to the other events section of our discussion forum.
Online Resources
New to our chapter website is an online
discussion forum.
Everyone is welcome to visit, to browse and even to post messages (after a brief, private registration). Separate sections are provided
for discussion of chapter meetings, the International EMB Conference, other local activities, jobs, technology
developments, industry trends, and off-topic chat.
Email Announcements
You may sign up for our email list, which sends out one or two meeting announcements per month.
Your information will not be used for any other purpose.
We now are using a new ListServ system, the same one used by other IEEE chapters. You can manage your subscriptions in one of two ways.
The first is by sending emails to listserv@listserv.ieee.org with the following in the BODY (not subject) of the message:
to subscribe: subscribe cpmt-chap-scv YourFirstName YourLastName
to unsubscribe: unsubscribe embs-chap-scv
(do this from the account with which you were subscribed)
to get info: info embs-chap-scv
to get help: help
The other way to manage your subscription is by web interface, at:
http://listserv.ieee.org
First assign and receive your own LISTSERV password; then select
the first option: "Subscriber's Corner"
To modify your subscription: Select "All Lists" in the SHOW box, if
needed; look for and click on "EMBS-CHAP-SCV", then make your choices.
You can change your desired email address, leave the list temporarily, or leave the list entirely.
If you have any troubles, there are help pages available on the ListServ website. Or, contact Jim Stoneburner for assistance.
Please make yourself at home...
