Passionate About:

Hello Team,

I am a Junior Biology major focusing in Vertebrate Physiology. I am passionate about helping others and working on sustainability projects to better communities so that they one day can be dependent on themselves and won't need brigades to come. I will be leading you guys on this awesome experience to Panama over Spring Break where I hope to help as many people as we can while becoming close friends. I have been on two brigades before this so I have a good amount of experience and can't wait to share that with you. My goal leading up to the trip and on the trip is to get to know each and everyone of you.

Volunteer Activity Message

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.
