Arcadia Medical Brigade to Nicaragua March 2015



Alexandria's Message

This spring a group of classmates and I from Arcadia's physician assistant program are traveling to Nicaragua through Global Brigades to provide medical care to a local community. I'm so excited to be able to help those who have very limited access to healthcare and also for the opportunity to enhance my clinical and educational skills as a future PA! We are raising money for the cost of the trip and for the medications and supplies needed. Any amount, big or small, counts! Thank you so much for your help!

Volunteer Activity Description

Medical Brigade volunteers have the opportunity to shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists through a one week Medical Brigade in Honduras, Panama, or Ghana. Student volunteers can either join an existing Medical Brigades chapter on their campus or create their own chapter and recruit other volunteers. Each of our partner community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are treated and volunteers deliver public health workshops. 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.
