Medical Brigades at Dominican University Physician's Assistant School
Dominican University Physician's Assistant School is an Alumni Chapter of Global Medical Brigades, an international movement of students and medical professionals working alongside local communities and staff to implement sustainable health systems. Global Brigades offers 4-7 day Alumni Brigades throughout the year in Honduras. During an Alumni Brigade, post-graduates and Healthcare Professionals have the opportunity to utilize their specialties within mobile medical clinics in rural areas. Each of our partner communities receives a brigade about twice a year. Between brigades, Alumni Brigades can provide specialized, advanced care to specific cases that would benefit most from these professionals. Also, 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.
