<p>Since there are so many ChemE majors who are premed, I’m guessing that this group has been newly formed (I hadn’t heard about it until today).</p>

<p>Society of Engineers In Medicine - </p>

<p>SEM is a college-wide organization for undergraduate and graduate students interested in medicine, medical research and bioengineering. This group includes students interested in pre-med and biotech fields and those pursuing graduate school in biomedical engineering and related fields. </p>

<p>Faculty adviser is Dr. Chris Brazel.</p>

<p>my daughter has been involved in it for some time, so not that new.</p>

<p>Right…I just found this pic on Dr. Brazel’s page…</p>

<p>Is your D applying to med school? PA program? what?</p>

<p>My son has gone to some meetings, but it is primarily premeds, not engineering focused. Seems to be a lot of girls in it, too, like everything else at Bama. I would definitely recommend joining it if your child is premed, though. They have done a lot of field trips to medical facilities, like the radiology department at DCH, and even went up to UAB med school.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info, I don’t think my dd joined, but I am going to pass the I info to her, as she is a Chem Engr/pre-med!</p>
