Passionate About:

Providing health service. My ultimate goal in my professional career is to become a dentist. Therefore, participating in Global Brigades Dental program will be an initiator to my goal. Helping others has always gratified me. It’s a feeling of a hero, no matter how minute the circumstances may have been the feelings will always be grandeur. However, being able to assist people in a medical situation such as oral care is truly a passion I’m willing to commence.

U Florida Gulf Coast GMDB May 2013 Panama



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.
