Volunteer Activity Description

Start Date: May 29, 2015 12:00 AM
End Date: Jun 6, 2015 12:00 AM

Global Brigades offers a 9 day Medical/Public Health Brigade for volunteers to participate in throughout the year in Nicaragua. Medical Brigade volunteers have the opportunity to 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 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 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.
