What We Do
The University of Minnesota's chapter helps promote the future of international healthcare by creating a community that works to improve medical technology locally and internationally. We participate in the annul EWH Design Competition to create a medical device that can positively impact low-income communities. In addition to the international competition, we also help fix local medical device that have been broken or damaged, repairing them and learning together in the process.
As a student chapter we engage future healthcare innovators on the local and global scale by:
Building technical skills needed to design, engineer, and innovate solutions around healthcare
Facilitating intelligent conversations about culture, social issues, and ethics (both locally and globally)
Creating interdisciplinary teams to apply acquired knowledge to technical projects
Engaging within the local and global communities through volunteerism
Promoting health and STEM education through outreach
