Welcome

 Providing real world, project-based experience focused on medical technology  Partnering with EWH national to help individuals and hospitals in developing countries  Educating engineering students on the growing efforts by UCSD Faculty in both Medicine in Engineering to improve Global Health We are committed to:

 Co-Presidents: ◦ Thomas Chew and PJ Loury

 VP Internal: Dipti Kanthilal  VP External: Akshay Maheshwari  VP Finance: Mike Adsit

 Faculty co-advisor: Dr. Melissa Micou  Faculty co-advisor: Dr. Juan Lasheras  Get to know us!

 Entry for the EWH Design Competition  Provide Hospitals in the Developing world with a method to gauge patient response to HIV treatment  This information helps doctors determine the best way to suppress HIV in early stages  Design a device that can reproduce this method at a low cost

 Work alongside UCSD healthcare professionals to streamline a novel biological assay  Prototype an inexpensive thermocycler needed to run PCR for the assay  Learn how to design a temperature control system  Gain experience in engineering product development and documentation  Year-long project commitment  Open to All Majors

 Hands on soldering and project experience  Assemble kits from EWH National  Kits used in low resource settings to diagnose malfunctioning equipment

 Global Health Speaker Series ◦ Dr. Smith – HIV treatment analysis ◦ Dr. Tilghman – Global health in Mozambique ◦ other UCSD faculty focused on improving medical care overseas  Build Days ◦ Two or three per year ◦ Team-based activity  Thermocycler Project Team Meetings  Join our Programming Committee to plan Hospital Technology tours, Field Trips, and more!

 EWH Summer Institute  Tanzania and Central America  One month training, one month work experience in developing hospitals  Learn the language, take technical classes, get lab experience, work in local hospitals  es es 
