Jun 18	Volunteer Activity: UCLA Medical Brigade - June 2013 Panama

UCLA Medical Brigade - June 2013 Panama

End Date: Jun 24, 2013 03:00 PM

Volunteer Activity Message

Medical Brigade volunteers will set up temporary clinics in pre-identified communities in Eastern Panama to provide health care 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.

Saying "Happy birthday to one of the smartest, most efficient and effective people I ever had the privilege of meeting. Normally I get people small and more personal gifts for their birthday, but in this case I am certain you will use this donation to go out and change many lives for the better and impress even more people the way you have impressed me. Good luck and enjoy Panama."
