Loyola U Medical/Dental January 2015 Panama



Angelika's Message

As a first time brigader, I am beyond excited for the opportunity to travel to Panama! I am lucky enough to be participating in the Medical/Dental Brigade that will enable me to help others while providing me with hands-on healthcare experience. Not only will this opportunity further develop my healthcare skills for P.A. school, but it will also broaden my global horizons by teaching me about the Panamanian culture. Please join me in supporting the work I will be doing in the underserved communities in Panama. Any support you can give will make a tremendous difference.

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.
