The '''International Union for Physical and Engineering Sciences in Medicine''' (IUPESM) is an international non-governmental organization - the umbrella organization for the [[International Organization for Medical Physics]] (IOMP) and [[International Federation of Medical and Biological Engineering]] (IFMBE).<ref name="ref1">{{Cite web|url=https://www.iupesm.org|title=IUPESM website|access-date=2019-05-24}}

IUPESM was established in 1980, following a discussion during the Combined Meeting of the 12th International Conference on Medical and Biological Engineering and 5th International Conference on Medical Physics held in Jerusalem in 1979.<ref name="ref2">{{Cite journal| last = Nagel
