JHU Medical Brigade May 2012 Panama



Chelsea's Message

Hi everyone! So I have some breaking news! I will be going to Panama for 8 days, from May 26 - June 2 through the Johns Hopkins University's Global Medical Brigades! This is an amazing program that allows undergraduate students to volunteer in Latin American communities that do not have access to quality medical services. On the trip, I will be working in clinics, making sure that patients get their prescriptions, doing initial patient intake, and translating for doctors who cannot speak Spanish.

Needless to say, this will be an awesome opportunity. I haven't been out of the U.S. in 18 years, and right now I want to be in the international health/infectious disease field as a career.

What's the catch? I need your help to make this trip happen! And any amount helps! By donating, you are helping me on the path towards becoming a more capable and experienced practitioner in international health and infectious diseases. It's only through unique experiences such as these that I can put what I learn at Johns Hopkins into action.

If you have any questions, feel free to give me a call at 443-799-9345, send me an email (cgaviol2@jhu.edu), or Facebook me.

Please leave your name if you donate, so I can personally thank you! :)

I really do appreciate all your love and support. Thank you all!

Volunteer Activity Description

Medical Brigade volunteers set up medical clinics in pre-identified communities to provide healthcare where access is limited. Each community receives a brigade every 3-4 months and between brigades the in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and conducts community health worker trainings to empower local leaders to perpetuate a consistent level of healthcare.
