Indiana Biomedical Society, established in 1990, was founded by Jim Sheets and Mike DeJaeger in response to a clinical engineering survey at Methodist Hospital of Indianapolis. The survey revealed that biomedical technicians didn't feel acknowledged as a distinct group. Sheets and DeJaeger gauged interest in forming a society by sending out surveys to hospitals throughout Indiana, leading to the official formation of the society.
The inaugural organizational meeting held on July 14, 1990, was attended by notable individuals like George Gladding, Bruce Mueller, and Jack Simmons. The society's first official membership gathering took place on Sept. 8, 1990, with an initial attendance of 18 people. Today, Indiana Biomedical Society continues to advocate for and support professionals in the field through various events and membership options.
