Global Medical Brigades has given me the opportunity to work with both American and Honduran doctors to provide quality health initiatives to a community that otherwise has limited access to health care. Each patient will receive a physician consultation, teeth cleaning and a fluoride treatment as well as have access to pap smears, prostate exams and restorative dental care as necessary. I will have the opportunity to take patient vitals, obtain patient history and current symptoms, shadow and assist licensed physicians and dentists, participate in preventative education, and fill prescriptions under a licensed pharmacist. This experience will also help me become familiar with prevalent health issues and learn about how to prevent and treat those illnesses. These brigades will provide me with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on a specific community while gaining real life experience in the field of international medicine and dentistry. Thanks so much for your help!
