EWH works with biomedical engineering students, professionals, and other folks to help hospitals and clinics in developing countries learn to more effectively use and maintain medical equipment. EWH summer programs enable American and foreign undergraduate and graduate students to go overseas to teach equipment usage, repair instruments, and help with other aspects of biomedical engineering. (Academic credit and financial assistance often can be arranged.) Other trips enable professionals and technicians to go overseas for short-term projects. EWH has a close relationship with Duke University, chapters on many other U.S. campuses, and can work with high school students to learn about this type of service. It also helps engineers wanting to design and develop appropriate technologies. |
