• Work alongside rural families to understand the challenges and opportunities the communities face.
• On the ground logistics including lodging, meals, materials, coordinators and translators

About Medical Brigades
Medical Brigades provides students the opportunity to work with licensed medical professionals and community health workers to provide comprehensive health services in rural communities with limited access to healthcare. Volunteers have the opportunity to shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists.

About Dental Brigades
Dental Brigade volunteers have the opportunity to shadow licensed dentists in urgent and preventive dental services in communities with limited access to healthcare. Dental Brigades also focuses on prevention with dental hygiene workshops. Between brigades, the in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up to ensure any dental procedures were successful and to conduct community health worker trainings to empower local leaders to perpetuate a consistent level of dental care.

If you are a brigader in the UK or Canada, please contact Grace Goryoka, Program Advisor, for information on how to sign up for the brigade at grace.goryoka@globalbrigades.org.
