Passionate About:

I am so enthusiastic about combining my love of science and desire to help people through medicine. I hope to become a physician because I feel so passionately about the ability of skilled doctors to effectively treat patients. In Ghana I hope to gain hands on experience and further develop my compassion for interacting with human beings!

UCLA Medical/Dental Brigade December 2013 Ghana



Volunteer Activity Description

Global Medical and Dental Brigades in Ghana work alongside each other on a 10-day long brigade in under-resourced communities around the central region of Ghana. Each medical and dental brigade incorporates a public health portion at the end of the 4 clinical days. The 10-day medical and public health brigade provides volunteers with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on communities while gaining hands-on experience in the field of international medicine. Prior to travel, volunteers collect medicines, recruit health professionals and fundraise. Once in Ghana, the team will visit one partner community to administer a 3-4 day-long clinic and conduct health workshops. During clinical days, community members are able to consult doctors and dentists, fill any necessary prescriptions, receive necessary dental care, and sit-in on health education lectures.
