University of Notre Dame Med/Dent/PH Brigade March 2016 Nicaragua



Alexis's Message

Hey, everyone! My name is Alexis, and I'm a junior pre-med student studying Science Pre-Professional and Spanish at the University of Notre Dame. My sophomore year, I was accepted to become part of Notre Dame's chapter of Global Medical Brigades, and I participated in my first medical, dental, and public health hybrid brigade this past March. I am incredibly thankful and blessed to have a second chance at partaking in an international medical brigade to Nicaragua this spring break and work alongside physicians to provide health care for the strong, hopeful people of Nicaragua. My first brigade to Nicaragua was life-changing and further ignited my passion for global health and helping the underserved.

With aspirations of becoming a doctor, this upcoming trip means a lot to me. Prayers and donations are much appreciated! Your donations will go toward my program fee, which largely includes pharmacy utilities, medical/dental equipment, and extra medications that we will use during the brigade.

Volunteer Activity Description

Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama and Nicaragua. During a Medical Brigade, volunteers have the opportunity to take vitals and patient history in triage, shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations, and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists. Each of our partner communities receives a brigade approximately twice a year. 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. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.
