Passionate About:

As a senior and Chapter President, this will be my fourth and final medical brigade with Global Brigades. This March, University of Denver Global Brigades will be traveling to Nicaragua to provide medical, dental and public health education services for communities who otherwise wouldn't have access to these resources. I feel so lucky to be a part of the tremendous impact GB has had on their partnership communities, DU students, and the healthcare professionals who travel with us. These past four undergraduate years with GB have been incredibly formative in terms of my global health career goals and personal growth. I am so, so thankful for any donations possible towards an organization that is incredibly important to me and so many others who we help. Right now we are focused on individual fundraising to pay our way to Nicaragua. Thank you so much for any support you can give, and all donations are tax deductible!

University of Denver Medical Brigade March 2018 Nicaragua



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.
