Passionate About:

I have such a passion for the health care field and for helping others. As an aspiring future physician and healthcare provider, I search for opportunities in which I can apply my love for medicine with my thirst to help those in need most. I love finding clubs, volunteering, or even jobs that fit with my educational and professional goals by allowing me to grow both personally and professionally. These opportunities such as UIC Global Brigades and my research at UIC have helped me to gain valuable insight into the different aspects of medical care that interest me, while simultaneously broadened my experience within the medical field.

UIC Medical/Dental/Public Health Brigade December 2015 Nicaragua



Volunteer Activity Description

Medical/Public Health Hybrids: Global Brigades offers 9-day Medical/Public Health Hybrid Brigades throughout the year in Honduras and Nicaragua. During the Medical component, 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. During the Public Health component, volunteers develop sustainable health solutions and establish a standard of health quality by emphasizing prevention and education. The Public Health Program achieves this goal by implementing in-home infrastructure projects, providing health education, and engaging community members. Each Public Health Brigade will work with individual families, local schools, and community leaders with a focus on holistic and preventative health measures on both an individual and community-wide scale.
