Florida Atlantic University Medical/Dental/Public Health Brigade May 2015 Nicaragua



Andrea's Message

Hey guys!
I'm going to Nicaragua in May 2015 on a medical mission trip. We are going to help the less fortunate who need medicine, clinics, and clean water. This trip is vital for all the people who we will treat in Nicaragua. My passion for global health has brought me here and I hope that I can help at least one person in need through this mission.

Thank you for all your help and prayers!

Andrea

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.
