Opportunities: ACEW Faculty Wanted

Have you dreamed of visiting exotic lands, experiencing new cultures, and meeting fascinating people?

Have you delayed fulfilling this dream because you can't figure out how to finance it? Let ACCE come to your rescue with an opportunity to participate in an Advanced Clinical Engineering Workshop (ACEW)!   

ACCE is seeking volunteers to teach and/or coordinate ACEWs in Lithuania, Nepal, Panama, Colombia, India, and Russia. The coordinator serves as the point person for organizing the workshop and for communicating between the host country, the faculty, and ACCE. The faculty is responsible for pre-paring, presenting, and leading the discussion about particular topics of interest to clinical engineers. By participating, you will get:

  • your expenses paid, including travel, lodging, and food
  • to experience the culture first hand
  • the satisfaction of assisting a developing country to advance its clinical engineering capabilities.   

All interested members should contact Bob Morris at e-mail: morris@ohsu.edu
