Passionate About:

I am a current senior studying bioengineering at the University of Toledo. I have recently been accepted to medical school and will be starting after my graduation in May 2018. Through Global Brigades, I hope to learn more about global medicine and how to best care for medically underserved populations. In my future career, I wish to take the experiences from this mission trip and apply them to underserved communities here in the US as well as those abroad. Everyone deserves a right to a healthy life no matter where they were born. Through Global Brigades, we can provide preventative medical education as well as access to healthcare.

Volunteer Activity Message

Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama and Nicaragua. During a Medical Brigade, 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.
