Drexel Medical Brigade to Honduras March 2015

Start Date: Mar 23, 2015 12:00 AM
End Date: Mar 29, 2015 12:00 AM

Global Medical and Dental Brigades in Honduras work alongside each other on a 7-day long brigade in under-resourced communities around the southern region of Honduras. The 7-day medical brigade provides volunteers with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on communities while gaining hands-on experience in the field of international medicine. Prior to travel, volunteers collect medicines, recruit health professionals and fundraise. Once in Honduras, the team will visit one partner community to administer a 3-4 day-long clinic and conduct health workshops. During clinical days, community members are able to consult doctors and dentists, fill any necessary prescriptions, receive necessary dental care, and sit-in on health education lectures.
