Passionate About:

Thank you for coming to my Global Brigades page! My name is Carleigh. I am the co-President of this year's Medical Brigade, and I am so excited! I am currently a senior at St. Olaf College majoring in Biology and Spanish with plans to attend medical school in the future to work in pediatrics or family medicine. I love serving others and learning more about medicine and how different countries and cultures experience and perceive health. I went on my first Medical Brigade in January of 2016, and fell in love with the organization. It was an eye-opening opportunity that sparked a passion for public health. This year, I am one of the Chapter Presidents of the Medical Brigade to Honduras. One of the many reasons I am going this January is to help communities have necessary and adequate access to health care and health education. This will be a wonderful opportunity to serve others and gain valuable experience in medicine as well as immersion in the Spanish language in a medical context. I am beyond excited to have the opportunity to return to Honduras with Global Brigades. Once again, thank you for visiting my page! If you have any questions, feel free to message me!

St. Olaf Medical Brigade January 2018 Honduras



Volunteer Activity Description

Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama and Nicaragua. During a Medical Brigade, volunteers have the opportunity to take vitals and patient history in triage, shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations, and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists. Each of our partner communities receives a brigade approximately twice a year. Between brigades, our in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and to conduct Community Health Worker (CHW) trainings to empower local leaders to sustain a consistent level of healthcare. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.
