M. Krishnan ng IFMBE In t Position Statement (not to exceed 200 words) My first contacts with IFMBE officers were in 2000 as I was a member of the Organizing Committee of the 9th Mediterranean IFMBE Conference (MEDICON 2001) that took place in Pula, Croatia. Gradually, I gained a working knowledge of the IFMBE and its fields of interests, activities, mission, organizational structure and strategic directions. I have taken part in numerous IFMBE sponsored events including World Congresses, regional and international conferences and meetings. Currently I am serving as IFMBE Proceedings Series Deputy Editor (2013-2015). In 2014, I served as the Chair of the 6th European Conference of the IFMBE (MBEC 2014) held in Dubrovnik, Croatia. An opportunity to serve the IFMBE as an AC member will be a great honor. I will do my best to contribute positively to the decision-making process of the IFMBE in matters that relate to current and long term objectives of the IFMBE. I have the ability to listen, analyze, think creatively, and work well with people, individually and in a group, with tolerance of differing views. I believe I have the experience and the enthusiasm to serve the IFMBE members well, and to continue to make a positive contribution to the goals of IFMBE . I agree to have my name placed in nomination for the above position, and if elected, to serve for the specified term.
