Passionate About:

I am so passionate about helping people through healthcare, which is how I knew that a career in nursing was right for me. It brings me great joy to provide care to people who are in need, as well as education on ways to stay healthy. I am beyond excited to share this passion with the people of Ghana, and hopefully leave a positive impact on their lives!

U of Michigan Medical GHANA August 2013



Volunteer Activity Description

Global Medical and Dental Brigades in Ghana work alongside each other on a 10-day long brigade in under-resourced communities around the central region of Ghana. Each medical and dental brigade incorporates a public health portion to the 4 clinical days. The 10-day medical and public health brigade provides volunteers with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on communities while gaining hands-on experience in the field of international medicine. Prior to travel, volunteers collect medicines, recruit health professionals and fundraise. Once in Ghana, the team will visit one partner community to administer a 3-4 day-long clinic and conduct health workshops. During clinical days, community members are able to consult doctors and dentists, fill any necessary prescriptions, receive necessary dental care, and sit-in on health education lectures. At the end of the medical portion, volunteers then have a chance to facilitate more Public Health projects.
