Passionate About:

I am passionate about creating opportunities to learn from others around me and becoming a multi-disciplinary student. My interests in science and philosophy motivate me to be reflective in everything I do. I plan on going to medical school to study oncology where treatment goes beyond medications. Health is about preventative care as well as having a positive mental state and I constantly seek ways of supporting others in need.

May 20	Volunteer Activity: Boston College Medical/Public Health Brigade May 2015 Nicaragua

Boston College Medical/Public Health Brigade May 2015 Nicaragua

End Date: May 28, 2015 12:00 AM

Volunteer Activity Message

Global Brigades offers 7-10 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua and Ghana. 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. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.
