Passionate About:

I am a Junior at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville studying Psychology with a minor in Public Health on the Premed track. I want to pursue medicine because I am very passionate about women's health. Black women, especially, face so many disparities in healthcare, and I want to be a part of the change that needs to happen. I am also passionate about serving people in underdeveloped places because I believe that everyone is entitled to medical aid/ healthcare. This is why I want to be a part of the UTK Panama Medical Brigade. I feel like we take for granted the almost unlimited resources we have in the U.S, which is why I want to help those in Panama who may not have access to the same supplies and aid.

University Of Tennessee Medical Brigade January 2023 Honduras



Volunteer Activity Description

Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama, Ghana, Guatemala and Greece. 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.
