University of Connecticut Medical/Public Health Hybrid Brigade January 2015 Honduras



Anna's Message

Hi everyone! I will be going to Honduras this winter with the University of Connecticut and Global Brigades! I am so excited for this trip, it is something I have always wanted to do. We will be working in clinics and in homes of a community to help out with people who are in need of medical attention as well as create awareness for public health and hygiene. We are fundraising for our trip and the money we raise will go to our plane tickets and also buying medical supplies that we will be bringing down with us. Even the smallest donation helps, it would mean so much. I am so grateful to have this opportunity to go on this trip and to be able to share the experience with everyone!

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.
