MTF has about 1000 members and five sister societies, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland and Estonia. The association arranged an annually recurring event called The Biomedical Engineering Days . This event attracts about 350-500 participants from health care, research, industry and a large number of exhibitors.

In 1993, the Annual Meeting approved a proposal according to which members have possibility to apply for Certification in Clinical or Biomedical Engineering.
