CSB-SJU Medical Dental Brigade May 2015 Honduras



Becca's Message

This May, I will be traveling to Honduras on a medical mission trip through the organization Global Medical Brigades with the Global Health Affairs club at CSBSJU. On the trip I will be working along side various medical professionals with 35 other CSBSJU students to provide health care for undeserved Honduran communities.

The donations I receive will help pay for the medical supplies that we will be bringing with us. I cannot wait for this unique healthcare experience. This is an incredible opportunity for me as I hope to some day be a dentist.

Thank you for your support!

Volunteer Activity Description

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. Dental Brigade volunteers have the opportunity to shadow licensed dentists in urgent and preventive dental services in communities with limited access to healthcare. Dental Brigades also focuses on prevention with dental hygiene workshops. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.
