The University of Maryland, Baltimore is committed to providing the best access and patient care both at home and abroad, while training students for the future of health care.

Through the Global Medical Brigades, the world\'s largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization, the University of Maryland helps to develop sustainable health initiatives and provides relief where there is limited access to healthcare. Each community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are treated and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community healthcare. Help us out and support us for our 3rd brigade today!
