Rutgers University Medical/Dental/Public Health Brigade January 2016 Nicaragua



Amanda's Message

This experience is one that is once again going to change my life. As many of you many know, last summer I was #blessed to be chosen as part of a medical/dental brigade in Panama - where we administered aid to those less fortunate for no cost whatsoever.

This year I am excited to be apart of a similar group to Nicaragua. This time around we will also be participating in a public health portion where we will be assisting in the development of long term health/wellness changes tat will benefit the people of the region.

Please help me in raising money in bringing aid to those in need. Any small donation is an immense help.

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.
