assessments and social entrepreneurship, to improve access to healthcare in
underdeveloped communities.
VOLUNTEER * SURVEY * DESIGN * DISTRIBUTE
1. DESIGN projects
meant to address unmet medical needs in developing countries.
2. A SURVEY of need that is sent with
medical school groups and other groups around campus who travel to developing
countries to work on medical, engineering or social change projects. The survey
provides us with information about healthcare needs that we can use to generate
new design project ideas. To view the survey, please click here.
