BU Medical/Dental Brigade May 2013 Honduras
  1. Affiliated Organization: Global Brigades USA
  2. Program: Medical Brigades
  3. Chapter: Medical/Dental Brigades at Boston University
End Date: May 19, 2013 12:00 AM
Volunteer Activity Message

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.

Saying "Hi Brianna, I loved hearing from you. I am not surprised that you want to help people in underprivileged communities. It sounds like it will be a wonderful and gratifying experience. I hope you don't mind but I shared your desire to go to Honduras with the medical team and use your talents to help others with my 7th graders. They are studying how to live as a disciple of Jesus and your actions speak louder than my words. Thank you. If I hit the lottery you will be first on my list. God "
