Passionate About:

As many of you know, I want to join Doctors Without Borders during a course of my career with the Unites States Air Force to give back as much as possible. In May, I will be taking a trip to Nicaragua as a Medical Brigade to get my first experience about what the rest of my life will look like and what I get to look forward to! As part of the Medical Brigade, we will be helping individuals in a poorer area of Nicaragua to help some of those that may not normally have access to healthcare.

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.
