Passionate About:

Life has been an exemplary teacher for me, and from its teachings I’ve grown as an individual who has increasingly developed an awareness about himself and others. At this point in my life, I don’t think that there is anything more important to me than to change the world, one life at a time, through acts of kindness by devoting my life to the practice of medicine. The road in coming to this decision has been paved with many emotions, problems, and obstacles.

Volunteer Activity Message

Medical Brigade volunteers will set up temporary clinics in pre-identified communities in Eastern Panama to provide health care 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.
