Dayton Med/PH Brigade to Nicaragua Jan 2015



Rachel's Message

I have been selected to travel wiht a Medical Brigade through the University of Dayton, where I attend college as a pre-med student. This trip is specifically created to help people in a community of Nicaragua who are in need of medical assistance. I will work directly with medical and dental professionals aiding them and those in need.

To participate, I am asked to raise $1,750. If you are able to help in this endeavor, I would greatly appreciate your donation. It is totally tax deductable and would help so many.

Thank you so much for your consideration.

Rachel

Volunteer Activity Description

Volunteers on Medical and Dental Brigades work closely together with licensed medical and dental professionals to provide quality health initiatives to a community that otherwise has limited access to health care. Volunteers 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 receives a physician consultation, public health talk, and prescribed medicines as well as have access to PAP smears, prostate exams and restorative dental care as necessary. Children, in addition, receive teeth cleaning, a fluoride treatment, and vitamins necessary for proper growth and development. Volunteers 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.
