Passionate About:

Helping my country while learning the many great aspects of dentistry sounds like the IDEAL opportunity for me. In reality, it sounds like the perfect chance for anyone to embrace. Not only do I want to make those that I love proud, but also set an example for all Latina adolescents who dream BIG!

Volunteer Activity Message

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.
