We need past perfect - had engaged -only there is time gap between the first and the second. In this case I think there isn't any; that is, physicians were at work during the camp,weren't they? ”

'Has engaged' don't sound right here you have used past tense for the same event in the first sentence

Thanks for your reply.

I will be using ...The club engaged...

But I just need more clarity on the following:

The Club had engaged and The club engaged

Do these sentences have different meanings?
