May 27	Volunteer Activity: UPenn Med/PH Brigade to Nicaragua May 2014

UPenn Med/PH Brigade to Nicaragua May 2014

End Date: Jun 04, 2014 12:00 AM

Volunteer Activity Message

Volunteers on Medical 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.Each patient receives a physician consultation, public health talk, and prescribed medicines as well as have access to PAP smears, and prostate exams.. 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.
