Passionate About:

As some of you may know, I have been selected to participate in a Global Medical Brigade in Honduras during June 2016. The Global Brigades is the world’s largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization. Global Medical Brigades works with local government, international and local doctors, and student leaders to develop a medical program to provide consistent access to healthcare in communities where clinics are scarce, without sufficient medicines, or severely understaffed. This year, Global Medical Brigades at UCSB will be setting up a mobile clinic in Nicaragua to provide consultations with patients who would not otherwise be able to afford or have access to healthcare. The brigade will provide my peers and me with the unique opportunity to work closely with medical professionals and to gain an unforgettable experience providing healthcare in a developing country.
I am so honored to be a part of an awesome team that aims to provide underserved communities with the tools and resources that unfortunately are not readily available to them. If you would like to know more about my trip, please feel free to message me. I am super excited to share more about the work that Global Medical Brigades does for communities throughout the world.

Volunteer Activity Message

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.
