Brandy Smith, MS, CCRA, Chief of Clinical Operations at IMARC Research, Inc. was recently invited to participate on a panel as part of the Midwest Biomedical Engineering Career Conference (MBECC) at Case Western Reserve University.  As a ‘05 MS Alumnus of CWRU, Brandy was asked by the department’s Director of Marketing, Kathy Gill, to participate in the panel discussion on Biomedical Engineering Careers.  She was one of five panelists leading the discussion with students in the audience from schools around the Midwest.

The panel answered questions about career paths and gave tips for landing that first job in the “real world.”  Brandy says of her experience, “I was fortunate to participate with managers from the medical device industry, from Quality Assurance, and also a Program Manager from the FDA.”  

The MBECC 2010 conference brings together students & practitioners of Biomedical Engineering and the Life Sciences for panel discussions, technical sessions, and informal extended exchange of ideas important to the future of Biomedical Engineering in the Midwest.  Some conference highlights include:

• Assisting participants in planning their academic and industrial careers
• Introducing companies to the wealth of intellectual prowess rooted in the Midwest
• Exposing participants to innovative research in biomedical engineering and allied areas
• Promoting potential employees through a career networking solution
