Passionate About:

I enjoy learning new subjects and helping others. I want to go on this trip to experience a different setting than what I am used to. Because I want to become a doctor, I feel that it is vital that I become familiar of the great disparities in the world and how certain ideas of health here in America may be so commonplace but in other places the very same ideas may very much be novelties or ideas that could never be realized given current resources and knowledge. Even if I do not learn much just knowing that I did my best to help a community learn more about health and taking better care of themselves would be a major accomplishment in itself. People in this area struggle day to day not realizing how important health care is and just how much it would help them in day to day life.

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.
