Passionate About:

I am passionate about bringing health education, medical resources, and aid to areas of the world that have minimal access to these things so that people in all areas of the world might some day have equal opportunities to develop their minds and families without the burden of inadequate care.

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Medical/Public Health Brigade March 2016 Nicaragua

  2. Program: Medical Brigades
  3. Chapter: Medical Brigades at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
End Date: Mar 20, 2016 12:00 AM
Volunteer Activity Message

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.
