PAMIA - Philadelphia Area Medical Instrumentation Association Information

PAMIA is a local association of clinical/biomedical engineers, biomedical equipment technicians, directors/managers, salespeople and others involved with medical equipment from the Philadelphia area, as far as Allentown/Bethlehem, South & Central New Jersey, Lancaster County, and northeastern Maryland. Our primary activity is monthly meetings on a wide variety of relevant topics, e.g. equipment device seminars, regulatory issues of the field, roundtable discussions, etc. at locations ranging from hotel conference rooms, hospitals and manufacturer sites. The monthly meeting provides a forum to socialize with others in the field, discuss problems, and to network with those looking for positions and those hiring, excess equipment and those needing equipment, etc. Complimentary dinners are frequently served. PAMIA also, when in demand, sponsors an excellent review course to prepare for CBET Certification. This same course also has frequently been available at AAMI Conventions, which attests to the quality of the course and its instructors. The annual subsidized holiday party is a joyful, no-work session with spouses, etc. to enjoy ample food and a drawing for door prizes. Membership and participation in biomedical societies is recognized in the CBET certification renewal point system to maintain certification in good standing. Becoming a PAMIA Member gives you the recognition and affiliation you deserve as a healthcare professional. If you aren't already a PAMIA Member, we welcome you to become part of the Philadelphia area's driving force in the advancement of the biomedical technology.
