C.J. Vincent

Passionate About:

I've always been a firm believer in the "Pay It Forward" mentality. I realized early on in my life that I wanted a career that allowed me to give back—aspiring to be just like my mother, Cheryl. Instead of choosing nursing, I decided to go into the field of education. I believe that fields such as medicine and education allow for the beautiful opportunity to touch millions of lives every day and I knew that I wanted to be involved in this amazing endeavor. I hope to one day look back at my life, as I have retired on a beach somewhere and opened my own diner, to see that I’ve been a teacher of not just English—but life, coached basketball—maybe with Coach K from Duke, given all I had left to give to this world and had lived my life to fullest, fearlessly.

Arcadia University Medical/Dental Brigade May 2013



Volunteer Activity Description

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