Arcadia Medical Brigade to Nicaragua March 2014



Anna's Message

Hello Friends,

This coming March for spring break, I will be traveling to Nicaragua with my PA class on a Global Medical Brigade. We will be providing medical care, setting up temporary clinics, educating, and providing medication to the local communities of Nicaragua. Although I am still just a student, this will be an amazing experience for me, especially as a step towards my goal in doing medical missions in the future as an advocator of Christ.

We are currently fundraising for this trip. But even more so, I am requesting that you pray for me while overseas. So if you are in the Spirit of giving and praying this New Year, please keep me and our group in prayer.

Anna

Volunteer Activity Description

Medical Brigade volunteers will set up temporary clinics in pre-identified communities in Nicaragua to provide healthcare where access is limited. Each community receives a brigade every 3-4 months. Students on the brigade are given the opportunity to shadow licensed health care professionals while learning about local Panamanian culture. A typical Medical/Dental Brigade clinic consists of six stations: Intake, Triage, Consultation, Dental, Charla (health education), and Pharmacy. Electronic patient records are collected during the brigade to ensure patient follow-up as well as to monitor overall community health trends. Between brigades, the in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and conduct community health worker training aimed at empowering local leaders to perpetuate a consistent level of health care. For every student who volunteers on a Global Medical Brigade, sixty patients can see a doctor who otherwise would not be able to.
