Passionate About:

I am a Biomathematics major at Rutgers University. My hope is to attend medical school and study to become a physician. I am passionate about furthering modern medicine and studying the way the human body works. Additionally I love volunteering and bettering my community, and I do so by being involved both on and off campus. Going to Panama on this Medical Brigade will give me the opportunity to gain clinical experience and touch the loves of many less fortunate children and families. Thank you for any and all donations!

About Us

New Brunswick (NJ, USA), (Former Rutgers University) is a chapter of Global Medical Brigades, an international movement of students and medical professionals working alongside local communities and staff to implement sustainable health systems. We work in remote, rural, and under resourced communities in Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua and Ghana who would otherwise have limited to no access to health care. Each community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are provided access to dental & medical care and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends. nnIn conjunction with our Medical & Dental Programs, Global Brigades also supports communities with economic development, sanitation and clean water projects, and uniquely implements these programs in a holistic model to meet a community’s health and economic goals. Our model systematically builds community ownership and collaboratively executes programs with the end goal of sustainably evolving to a relationship of impact monitoring.
