New Jersey Institute of Technology Medical/Dental March 2016 Panama



Ashley's Message

I am a second year biomedical engineering pre-medicine student at New Jersey Institute of Technology with the future goal of becoming a psychiatrist. Traveling abroad to help less developed communities is something I have dreamed of doing for a very long time. Medical Brigades enables me to do this while learning skill sets which will be beneficial in my future pre-medicine experiences. In addition to Medical Brigades, I am a resident assistant at the NJIT Albert Dorman Honors College, president of Residence Hall Association, an assistant to a research project on cumulative subconcussions, an employee at NJIT's math tutoring center, a new mentor of Big Brothers Big Sisters, a member of National Society of Leadership and Success with the goal of creating a student counseling program, and am currently working on signing up for suicide hotline training. Attending this trip is something I would really get so much out of and any donations would be so greatly appreciated.

Volunteer Activity Description

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.
