Passionate About:

The medical brigades are a symbol of what many would consider the ultimate opportunity for someone to give and help others. By helping those who cannot help themselves with a team of people who all want to reach the same goals. Not only would this experience be both medicinal and educational, it also brings the realities of the world to light. Many people have minimal care and are in need of medical attention and the possibility that I along with Medical professionals will be able to give them relief breaks reality. Doctors take an oath to help and this brigade sort of does the same thing. As a Premed student, this is my inspiration to pursue a medical career and I would love to have the opportunity to start my journey earlier.

Volunteer Activity Description

Volunteers on Medical and Dental Brigades work closely together with licensed medical and dental professionals to provide quality health initiatives to a community that otherwise has limited access to health care. Volunteers spend three days in a community in order to optimize the amount of time patients are able to spend with the physicians and dentists. Each patient receives a physician consultation, public health talk, and prescribed medicines as well as have access to PAP smears, prostate exams and restorative dental care as necessary. Children, in addition, receive teeth cleaning, a fluoride treatment, and vitamins necessary for proper growth and development. Volunteers have the opportunity to take patient vitals, obtain patient history and current symptoms, shadow and assist licensed physicians and dentists, participate in preventative education, and fill prescriptions under a licensed pharmacist. Volunteers will become familiar with the prevalent health issues in their community and learn about how to prevent and treat those illnesses. These brigades provide each volunteer with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on a specific community while gaining real life experience in the field of international medicine and dentistry.
