Arcadia Medical Brigade to Nicaragua March 2015



Alex's Message

My goals include promoting health, fitness, and the PA profession. I am looking forward to going on the Medical Brigade so I can get a firsthand experience of the difference in healthcare access in less developed countries, and also to help make a difference in the underserved population. I am grateful to have this opportunity to travel to another country to provide aid to the less fortunate. Any donations would be a great help, so please consider helping me help others!

Volunteer Activity Description

Medical Brigade volunteers have the opportunity to shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists through a one week Medical Brigade in Honduras, Panama, or Ghana. Student volunteers can either join an existing Medical Brigades chapter on their campus or create their own chapter and recruit other volunteers. Each of our partner community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are treated and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Between brigades our in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and to conduct Community Health Worker (CHW) trainings to empower local leaders to sustain a consistent level of healthcare.
