Passionate About:

I am passionate about serving my God and the people around me in whatever way possible in everyday life. More specifically, I want to utilize my talents and gifts in a way that will best serve the most people. A combination of my innate love for service to people in extreme need and my desire to work toward global equality is part of what has lead me to want to pursue a career in medicine with the hope of practicing internationally in the Spanish-speaking world.

Notre Dame Med/Dent Brigades Jan 2014 Nicaragua
  1. Affiliated Organization: Global Brigades USA
  2. Program: Medical Brigades
  3. Chapter: Medical Brigades at the University of Notre Dame
End Date: Jan 13, 2014 12:00 AM
Volunteer Activity Message

Volunteers on the Medical and Dental Brigades will be working closely together to provide quality health initiatives to a community that otherwise has limited access to health care. Volunteers will 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 will receive a physician consultation, teeth cleaning and a fluoride treatment as well as have access to pap smears, prostate exams and restorative dental care as necessary. Volunteers will 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.
