Dec 17	Volunteer Activity: Kansas City Medical Brigade Dec 2013 Honduras

Kansas City Medical Brigade Dec 2013 Honduras

End Date: Dec 23, 2013 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.

Saying "Katy

I think it's wonderful that you are going on this trip. My girlfriend's daughter went to Africa as a medical student. She said it was a challenging and rewarding experience. Renee talked about how you can literally change someone's life and how grateful they were for the assistance.
Have a wonderful safe trip.
