Regis University Medical/Dental Brigade July 2016 Panama

Start Date: Jul 30, 2016 12:00 AM
End Date: Aug 5, 2016 12:00 AM

Global Brigades offers 7 day Medical Brigades throughout in July-August to Panama. 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.
