Passionate About:

I am currently studying Chemistry and Biology- Premedical at the University of New Haven. I am also doing research with the Section of Infectious Diseases at Yale University. In the future, I hope to travel to third world countries as a doctor. Global Brigades has provided a great opportunity for me to experience healthcare in another country and gain valuable experience shadowing physicians.
Thank you for any support you are able to give, every penny counts!

Grinnell College Medical/Dental/Public Health Brigade March 2015 Nicaragua



Volunteer Activity Description

Medical Brigade volunteers have the opportunity to shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists. 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. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.
