My experiences with patients have helped me realize that making a positive difference in others’ lives is what drives me to pursue a career in the healthcare field. I admire that Global Medical Brigades targets the root cause of health issues rather than simply dispensing pills to treat symptoms that way the problem is not recurring. It can be easy for us to sometimes take for granted all of the resources we have to healthcare as well as clean water, food, shelter, etc. But there are some places that do not have access to some or any of these things. Everyone deserves to have access to those necessities and that is why I look forward to playing a part in supplying these communities to gain access to healthcare so that they can one day be self-sustaining.
