Passionate About:

As an undergraduate student from Loyola University, I am majoring in Psychology and minoring in Women's and Gender Studies with hopes of working in the medical field in the future. I've always enjoyed volunteering and helping the underprivileged. With this opportunity to travel and make a difference, I can help touch and impact the lives of many, no matter how small it may be. Having access to health care should essentially be universal, but that is not always the case; with this trip, my fellow brigaders and I will do our best to provide for as many people we can.

Loyola Medical/Dental Brigade Aug 2012 Honduras
  1. Affiliated Organization: Global Brigades USA
  2. Program: Medical Brigades
  3. Chapter: Medical Brigades at Chicago Brigades
End Date: Aug 23, 2012 12:00 AM
Volunteer Activity Message

Volunteers on the Medical and Dental Brigades will be working closely together to provide quality health initiatives to a community that otherwise has limited access to health care. Volunteers will spend three days in a community in order to optimize the amount of time patients are able to spend with the physicians and dentists. Each patient will receive a physician consultation, teeth cleaning and a fluoride treatment as well as have access to pap smears, prostate exams and restorative dental care as necessary. Volunteers will have the opportunity to take patient vitals, obtain patient history and current symptoms, shadow and assist licensed physicians and dentists, participate in preventative education, and fill prescriptions under a licensed pharmacist. Volunteers will become familiar with the prevalent health issues in their community and learn about how to prevent and treat those illnesses. These brigades provide each volunteer with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on a specific community while gaining real life experience in the field of international medicine and dentistry.
