UCSC March 2012 Medical Brigade - Panama



Audrey's Message

Hello Everyone!(:

Thanks for visiting my page! As you may know, my focus has always been in the medical field, which embraces my passion to help others. What other way than a hands- on experience? As a medical brigader, I will have the chance to assist Panamanian people with their medical and dental needs. This will allow me to obtain the experience that will bring me one step closer to my dream. I hope you all can cooperate in some way. Any donation will help and is greatly appreciated! :) thanks!

Volunteer Activity Description

Medical Brigade volunteers will set up temporary clinics in pre-identified communities in Eastern Panama to provide health care 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.
