Passionate About:

I am a passionate student attending the University of Colorado Springs majoring in Healthcare Sciences with a minor emphasis in biochemistry. My goals include one day being able to attend medical school and pursuing the field of oncology. The reason I am passionate about the Global Brigades stems from my love of helping people and my desire to make a difference in not only my community, but also in my global community. I am a firm believer that one person can truly make a difference, and I am here to prove how one voice can influence innovation among people.

University of Colorado Colorado Springs Medical Brigade May 2017 Nicaragua

End Date: May 21, 2017 12:00 AM

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.
