Passionate About:

I feel very strongly about helping those in need and I don't think I have done enough of this yet in my life. I feel like this trip is a huge chance for me to explore ways of helping others while also learning more about the medical field.

Mar 04	Volunteer Activity: Student Health Workers Med/Dent Mar'13 Honduras

Student Health Workers Med/Dent Mar'13 Honduras

End Date: Mar 10, 2013 12:00 AM

Volunteer Activity Message

Medical Brigades is a discipline of Global Brigades, the world's largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization.

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.
