| The Electric Heart | This interactive site features "A Map of the Human Heart," "Amazing Heart Facts," and related information. It is a companion site for the NOVA PBS series. |
| Science and Nature: Interactive Human Body | Identify muscles, the skeleton, nervous system. You can see how each muscle moves the body. |
| Visible Human Project | The Visible Human Project® is an outgrowth of the NLM's 1986 Long-Range Plan. It is the creation of complete, anatomically detailed, three-dimensional representations of the normal male and female human bodies. |
| Whole Brain Atlas | Harvard's collection of MR images of the brain is a well designed site that includes displays of pathological conditions as well as MPEG movies. The site also features quizzes, and sections on normal brain, cerebrovascular disease, neoplastic disease, degenerative disease, and inflammatory or infectious disease. |
|
| Biomedical Engineering Network | Browse profiles of academic programs, links to grant-making institutions and professional societies, and a list of conferences. (Job list open to members only.) |
| Biomedical Engineering Society | Their goal is to promote the increase of biomedical engineering knowledge and its utilization. On the site, you can browse for jobs, internships, events, links, and publications. |
IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society | This site is mostly about membership, conferences, and related topics. The full text of their publications can be obtained from 1988 to the present through their database. |
International Society for Computer Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery
(CAOS-International) | CAOS-International is a non-profit organization that serves as a forum for the exchange of information, both investigative and clinical, about orthopedic surgery involving computer assistance.
It also gives surgeons and engineers the oppurtunity to discuss and work together. |
| International Society of Biomechanics | Promotes the study of all areas of biomechanics at the international level, although special emphasis is given to the biomechanics of Human Movement. |
| National Collegiate Inventors & Innovators Alliance | The NCIIA works with colleges and universities to help educate the new generation of entrepreneurs. It offers courses, information about grants, and a competition called "BMEidea," in which JHU has won first and second prizes during the last few years.
|
| National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering | "The NIBIB is an Institute within the National Institutes of Health (NIH) devoted to merging the physical and biological sciences to develop new technologies that improve health."
