KU Medical/Dental Brigade May 2014 Panama



Shawnee's Message

Hello everyone! I have been heavily involved with Jayhawk Health Initiative's Medical Brigades since it's start in 2012. Last year, I was VP of Fundraising and went on the medical mission to Panama. This year, I was fortunate to not only be able to go on the trip for a second time, but to also be a Director for the program.
I am an aspiring med student, and love every aspect of this organization and this brigade, and I would very much appreciate any donations! Every small bit helps!
All donations are also tax-deductible. Thank you!!

Volunteer Activity Description

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.
