Passionate About:

I want to be able to make a difference in a 3rd world country. As an undergraduate student, on the premed route this program really stuck out to me. Being able to apply my knowledge in another country to help the people there is amazing. The feedback I have heard about these trips really makes me want to go the extra mile and be able to fundraise the money for this trip. I want to be able to make a difference in peoples lives and give them the opportunity to live a healthier life.

Volunteer Activity Message

Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama and Nicaragua. 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.
