Nominations are now being accepted to serve on AAMI's Technology Management Council (TMC), a 21-member group formed by AAMI's Board of Directors in 2004 to serve the interests of biomedical equipment technicians (BMETs), clinical engineers (CEs), and other managers of medical technology.

TMC members consist of a broad cross-section of members including BMETs, CEs, educators, manufacturing representatives, biomedical society leaders, students, and others in the medical technology field.

TMC members are responsible for identifying and implementing priorities and projects undertaken by the Council, working on ad hoc task forces to achieve goals, providing assistance to staff in publicizing projects and accomplishments, and attending two TMC meetings each year. One meeting is held in conjunction with AAMI's Annual Conference & Expo and a second meeting is held by conference call or in conjunction with a state biomedical society meeting in the fall.
TMC members serve three-year terms and can be re-nominated and re-appointed to a second three-year term.

Candidates interested in serving on the TMC should send an e-mail of interest, their resume or description of their work experience, and any involvement in AAMI programs to Steve Campbell at scampbell(at)aami.org. Nominations are being accepted until Tuesday, March 20.

In the last two years, the TMC has tackled a number of major projects, including the creation of several new services for local biomedical societies, increasing AAMI members' access to the Joint Commission, developing new career and IT resources and publications, increasing the communication between biomeds and nurses, and launching a major benchmarking project.
