Experienced professionals can help in multiple ways, in the US and other developed countries as well as in the developing world

• Provide mentorship to chapters, oversee equipment repair sessions, or advise students working on senior design projects
• Make short-term visits to our focus hospitals and clinics, to support capacity development, including training for equipment management, maintenance and repair
• Help EWH respond to requests from other organizations that need engineers to accompany volunteer medical personnel in developing country hospitals or that have ‘adopted’ hospitals and now need engineering help to repair donated medical equipment
• Join or advise a team participating in the EWH Design Competition. This calls for multidisciplinary Innovation Teams that bring student engineers together with faculty, professionals from the medical technology industry, social entrepreneurs, and so-on
• Take on one of the Projects that Matter design challenges as an individual or with fellow professional engineers. In the past, professional engineers have been able to take working prototypes developed by students and develop them into technologies ready for manufacture and distribution 

What kind of engineers are we looking for?

All professional engineers are welcome. We are especially interested in talking to you if you are a biomedical, mechanical or electrical engineer, or industrial designer who is:

• An EWH summer program alumnus eager to continue your contribution to improving health care
• A retired engineer with experience to share and the time to undertake short assignments on behalf of EWH in developing countries
• An engineer in a developing country eager to work on an EWH project
• An engineer from among one of the Diasporas eager to contribute to your home country and with the language and cultural skills to be very effective immediately on arrival
• An engineer in a medical device or related company interested to contribute some of your vacation time to supporting maintenance and repair of specialized equipment in a developing country hospital
• Staff of an EWH partner organization that regularly deploys engineers in the field or which has training and mentoring programs for professionals interested in field work
