Abby Ohrnstein

Champaign, IL.

Passionate About:

I have always had a deep passion for helping people. I am currently a sophomore kinesiology student hoping to pursue a degree as a Physician Assistant. I hope to one day travel to third world countries such as Africa, where I will be able to apply my knowledge learned here at the University, and work in a clinic of some sort. I believe that the amazing opportunity to travel to Honduras would put me one step closer to fulfilling a longstanding dream of mine, for I would be able to learn hands on how to better myself in the medical field, starting in a community of Honduras.

Volunteer Activity Message

Medical: Global Brigades offers 7 day Medical Brigades for volunteers to participate in throughout the year. 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.
