Volunteer Activity Message

Medical Brigade volunteers will set up temporary clinics in pre-identified communities in Eastern Panama to provide healthcare where access is limited. Students are given the opportunity to shadow health care professionals while learning about local cultures. A typical Medical/Dental Brigade clinic consists of six stations: Intake, Triage, Consultation, Dental, Health Education, and Pharmacy. Each community receives a brigade every 3-4 months. Between brigades, the in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and conduct community health worker training aimed at empowering local leaders to perpetuate a consistent level of health care. For every student who volunteers on a Global Medical Brigade, sixty patients can see a doctor who otherwise would not be able to.
