Passionate About:

Hi friends and family. I have the opportunity to travel to Panama this winter with Global Medical Brigades. They are a student-led global health and sustainable development organization. While in Panama we will be able to provide basic health services to underprivileged rural communities, where access to health is limited. We will be working along side doctors, dentists, and pharmacists, we will be able to do many things from shadowing to evaluating patients, to teaching children proper health habits. As the expenses of traveling to a foreign country are pretty high, it would be of great help and greatly appreciate if you could help me out. Anything counts and helps, there is no specific amount that you can donate. Your donations will help with airfair, room and board, and medical supplies expenses. I am very grateful and exited for this opportunity. Thank you so much for your help!

University of Texas at Austin Medical Brigade January 2016 Panama



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.
