CSB-SJU Medical Dental Brigade May 2015 Honduras



Brian's Message

I am going on a medical mission trip to Honduras through Global Medical Brigades and the Allied Health Club at CSBSJU. On the trip I will be working along side medical professionals and other students to provide health care and put on public health workshops for an undeserved,rural community. The services we provide are this community's main source of healthcare. The money you donate will help pay for my travel expenses as well as the medical supplies that we will be bringing with us. I currently work as a CNA at a nursing home, and I love it! I cannot wait for this unique healthcare experience. This is an incredible opportunity for me as I hope to some day be a Physician Assistant. Thank you for all of you 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.
