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}} </ref>
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 | first = Joachim | title = IUPESM: the international umbrella organisation for biomedical engineering and medical physics | publication = Biomed Imaging Interv J | volume = 3 | issue = 3 | pages = e56 | year = 2007 | url = http://www.biij.org/2007/3/e56 | doi = 10.2349/biij.3.3.e56 | pmid = 21614293| pmc = 3097671 }} </ref> In 1983 IUPESM became an associate member and in 1999 a full member of the International Science Council (former International Council for Science, ICSU).
