Passionate About:

No matter what paths we tread, each of us can strive in some way, however small, to be accompagnateurs to those who have not been blessed by good health and good fortune. And in doing so , we are , one baby step at a time, helping to repair the world. I have little doubt we can expand the promise of modernity-- the chance at a life free from poverty and premature death and unnecessary suffering and move the world toward equity, peace, and prosperity. -Dr. Paul Farmer

Volunteer Activity Message

Medical Brigade volunteers will set up temporary clinics in pre-identified communities in Eastern Panama to provide healthcare where access is limited. Each community receives a brigade every 3-4 months. Students on the brigade are given the opportunity to shadow licensed health care professionals while learning about local Panamanian culture. A typical Medical/Dental Brigade clinic consists of six stations: Intake, Triage, Consultation, Dental, Charla (health education), and Pharmacy. Electronic patient records are collected during the brigade to ensure patient follow-up as well as to monitor overall community health trends. Between brigades, the in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and conduct community health worker training aimed at empowering local leaders to perpetuate a consistent level of health care. For every student who volunteers on a Global Medical Brigade, sixty patients can see a doctor who otherwise would not be able to.
