Passionate About:

As a teacher of medicine and cultural diversity, I feel it is my obligation to expose my students to as many learning opportunities as possible. I try to both clinically practice and teach the value of keeping the “heart” in healthcare. This is what led me to forming a Chapter of the Global Brigades at Arcadia University and organizing medical brigades. The learning experience we encounter cannot be accomplished in the classroom. To work side-by-side with my students and see them flourish as clinicians by applying the skills we have taught them, is an amazing experience I will always cherish. We cannot grow as humanitarians without giving back to those who so desperately need it. This is a lesson I want my students to remember for a lifetime. Together with my students, we will continue give back and take care of the many “hearts” in healthcare that desperately need our help.”

Volunteer Activity Message

Medical Brigade volunteers have the opportunity to shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists through a one week Medical Brigade in Honduras, Panama, or Ghana. Student volunteers can either join an existing Medical Brigades chapter on their campus or create their own chapter and recruit other volunteers. Each of our partner community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are treated and volunteers deliver public health workshops. 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.
