May 27	Volunteer Activity: Chapman Medical Brigade May 2013 Nicaragua

Chapman Medical Brigade May 2013 Nicaragua

End Date: Jun 04, 2013 12:00 AM

Volunteer Activity Message

Volunteers on Medical and Dental Brigades work closely together with licensed medical and dental professionals to provide quality health initiatives to a community that otherwise has limited access to health care. Volunteers spend three days in a community in order to optimize the amount of time patients are able to spend with the physicians and dentists. Each patient receives a physician consultation, public health talk, and prescribed medicines as well as have access to PAP smears, prostate exams and restorative dental care as necessary. Children, in addition, receive teeth cleaning, a fluoride treatment, and vitamins necessary for proper growth and development. Volunteers have the opportunity to take patient vitals, obtain patient history and current symptoms, shadow and assist licensed physicians and dentists, participate in preventative education, and fill prescriptions under a licensed pharmacist. Volunteers will become familiar with the prevalent health issues in their community and learn about how to prevent and treat those illnesses. These brigades provide each volunteer with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on a specific community while gaining real life experience in the field of international medicine and dentistry.

Saying "Ashley,

I used to work with your dad and met you years ago when you were a little girl. There's probably no way you'd remember me, but it was more than 10 years ago. I wish you well in this trip to Nicaragua. What an amazing adventure. I hope this gift gets you closer to your dream to help others.

Saludos,
El Tigre Blanco"
