Passionate About:

I am a Pre-Dental student at the University of Dayton who is passionate about helping other people. In fact, my passion to help other people is a major reason why I chose dentistry. I am very excited to be able to do whatever I can to benefit the lives of people who are less fortunate than I am.

Volunteer Activity Message

Medical and Dental Brigades at the University of Dayton is a discipline of Global Brigades, the world\'s largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization. The UNC-Chapel Hill chapter systematically works with more than 350 other university groups around the world to deliver and implement one of nine skill-based programs that benefit more than 130,000 Honduran, Panamanian, and Ghanaian community members annually.

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.
