Passionate About:

My biggest passion is helping others! As many of my friends and family may know, My main goal in life is to work as a physician in several years and I just want to be an inspiration and a helping hand to anyone in need. I want to part part of the movement that will make this world a better place. I believe that God put us on this earth for a reason and though it is not perfect, working as that Good Samaritan will help improve the lives and minds of many! I love people, good company, and of course my studies (except Chemistry!!!) and I'm glad that I'm holding onto and was accepted into this great opportunity to be a Medical Brigader!

Penn State Medical/Dental Brigade Panama May 2013



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.
