the mobile clinic through fundraising efforts.Fig. 1.4 Midwife using portable ultrasound after learning from the biomedical and mechanicalengineering studentsIn July 2013, the leadership institute team traveled to Ghana to collaborate and help facilitate theinitial use of the clinic. This team consisted of a biomedical engineering student, environmentalengineering student, mechanical engineering student, and pre-health student. The team spent aweek preparing the vehicle for use and teaching engineers and doctors on the technical uses ofthe vehicle. They explained maintenance along with reasons for engineering certain aspects inorder to share their vision of the clinic use. The team also collaborated with the director of thehospital to develop
