Medical Brigades at North Park University

North Park University is a chapter of Global Medical Brigades, an international movement of students and medical professionals working alongside local communities and staff to implement sustainable health systems. We work in remote, rural, and under resourced communities in Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua and Ghana who would otherwise have limited to no access to health care. Each community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are provided access to healthcare and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends. nnIn conjunction with our Medical Program, Global Brigades also supports communities with economic development, sanitation and clean water projects, and uniquely implements these programs in a holistic model to meet a community’s health and economic goals. Our model systematically builds community ownership and collaboratively executes programs with the end goal of sustainably evolving to a relationship of impact monitoring.

Email one of our NAU Medical Brigade Club contacts! (President Michelle Malin: mam3372@nau.edu) Our mission is to provide sustainable development to underserved communities throughout the world. Volunteers gather supplies, fundraise, and travel to Honduras to set up free medical clinics, implement public health infrastructure, and share important health and wellness information side-by-side with doctors and community members. In 2016, two socially-minded pre-med students approached their biology teacher with a mission: to travel to Central America with the Global Brigade to provide healthcare to indigenous communities. Since then, the first NAU Global Brigade traveled to Honduras in a unique Medical Brigade, bringing a group of pre-health students to remote areas of Honduras. Our students worked alongside local doctors who knew the local culture and the language, assisting and shadowing them as they administered needed dental and medical care in a holistic approach. Yearly trips since then to Central America by our NAU Medical Brigade have included various Flagstaff healthcare providers and adjunct faculty from Biology, Dental Hygiene, and Respiratory Therapy. Each year, student club leaders recruit new members and organize fundraising activities, raising money to pay for medicine, dental supplies, and hygiene packs that they bring to the site for distribution.

Medical Brigades at Nova Southeastern University

Medical Brigade volunteers have the opportunity to shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists through a one week Medical Brigade in Honduras, Panama, or Ghana. Student volunteers can either join an existing Medical Brigades chapter on their campus or create their own chapter and recruit other volunteers. Each of our partner community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are treated and volunteers deliver public health workshops. 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.
