Kansas City Medical Brigade December 2014 Honduras



Alyssa's Message

I am excited to be returning to Honduras, this time on a Medical Brigade, with some fellow medical students. I am the President of the chapter and am looking forward to leading a group of young, determined people to a local Honduran community where we will provide healthcare to an indigenous population that would otherwise not be able to receive such care. I appreciate your support through all of my endeavors and could not be living my dream of helping others without all of you!

Volunteer Activity Description

Volunteers on the Medical and Dental Brigades will be working closely together to provide quality health initiatives to a community that otherwise has limited access to health care. Volunteers will spend three days in a community in order to optimize the amount of time patients are able to spend with the physicians and dentists. Each patient will receive a physician consultation, teeth cleaning and a fluoride treatment as well as have access to pap smears, prostate exams and restorative dental care as necessary. Volunteers will have the opportunity to take patient vitals, obtain patient history and current symptoms, shadow and assist licensed physicians and dentists, participate in preventative education, and fill prescriptions under a licensed pharmacist. Volunteers will become familiar with the prevalent health issues in their community and learn about how to prevent and treat those illnesses. These brigades provide each volunteer with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on a specific community while gaining real life experience in the field of international medicine and dentistry.
