Engineering World Health is a non-profit organization that mobilizes the biomedical engineering community to improve the quality of health care in hospitals that serve resource-poor communities of the developing world. We began the biomedical equipment technician (BMET) training program in late 2009 to provide training for 45 technicians working in Rwanda. The program was funded by the GE Foundation with the goal of providing enough trained technicians to service medical equipment at every hospital in Rwanda within three years. Thanks to further funding from the GE Foundation, EWH has expanded the training program to Cambodia, Honduras and Ghana.

The Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at UNC/NCSU is pleased to be hosting their 5th annual Research+Design Symposium to be held at the NC Biotechnology Center on May 3rd. In the past three years, the event has attracted hundreds of participants from the area’s advanced medical technology community.
The event will include poster and oral presentations and a networking reception. Each year a number of projects have commercialization potential, and some have already achieved licensing agreements. One such project from last year earned national recognition by becoming the inaugural NCIIA BMEstart Design Competition Winner. Learn more about that here:
