UCR Medical/Dental Brigade June 2014 Nicaragua



Ashley's Message

Hi everyone! For those of you who don't know me, my name is Ashley Mach and I'm an aspiring pediatric dentist. During my last year here at UC Riverside, I am proud to be one of the Co-Presidents of an amazing student-led global health and sustainable development organization, Global Dental Brigades. This upcoming June we will be embarking on an amazing week-long trip to Nicaragua where we will be providing free medical and dental care. Last year during our brigade in Honduras, we set the record for seeing the most patients during our brigade within this worldwide organization. I can't wait to beat our record from last year, especially knowing that roughly 50% of the Nicaragua population lives in poverty. So if could can, please help me fundraise money for this amazing opportunity. Every little bit will help!

Also, if you have any clothes, toys, household items, etc. you would like to donate to those in Nicaragua, let me know and I'd be more than happy to brings these along with me on my trip!

Thank you!!!

Volunteer Activity Description

Volunteers on the Medical and Dental Brigades will be working closely together to provide quality health initiatives to a community that otherwise has limited access to health care. Volunteers will spend three days in a community in order to optimize the amount of time patients are able to spend with the physicians and dentists. Each patient will receive a physician consultation, teeth cleaning and a fluoride treatment as well as have access to pap smears, prostate exams and restorative dental care as necessary. Volunteers will have the opportunity to take patient vitals, obtain patient history and current symptoms, shadow and assist licensed physicians and dentists, participate in preventative education, and fill prescriptions under a licensed pharmacist. Volunteers will become familiar with the prevalent health issues in their community and learn about how to prevent and treat those illnesses. These brigades provide each volunteer with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on a specific community while gaining real life experience in the field of international medicine and dentistry
