Passionate About:

I am very passionate about accomplishing my goal of becoming a health care practitioner, and envision myself contributing to diminish health care disparities. One of the major challenges developing countries encounter is the lack of dependable information for making decisions concerning health planning and resource distribution. In the United States we have different resources to educate ourselves on the different illnesses prevalent in our communities. As a future physician, I want to coordinate health fairs that allocate resources on how to apply preventive medicine. I am also very passionate in successfully providing free examinations that will diagnose illnesses, such as hypertension, diabetes, some forms of cancer and other illnesses that are believed to be “uncommon” in small towns and villages, that will otherwise go overlooked. In doing so, I will make a contribution in altering or modifying health care disparities present globally.

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.
