Passionate About:

I elected to go on this medical mission trip to Honduras because I am passionate about helping others and ensuring that people have access to proper medical care. I am also a pre-optometry student and after graduation I will be applying to programs in order to become an eye doctor. I hope to go abroad again once I am an optometrist in order to give back and also teach students on the mission! I think our society tends to overlook those that live outside of the United States, but there are people that have never received basic forms of health care due to inadequate supplies or distance of travel to facilities. The fact that I have the opportunity to help someone in need and learn valuable skills in the process is priceless.

University of Toledo Medical Brigade January 2020 Honduras



Volunteer Activity Description

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.
