Hillary's Message

For anyone who does not know me, I am in my second year of nursing at the Bathurst campus. My dream since I wanted to become a nurse was to some day travel the world to help the less fortunate, summer 2015 I will be able to start my first step in accomplishing my dream. Below is the description of all the amazing experiences I get to help out with when travelling to Honduras with Medical Brigades . I thank anyone who takes the time to read, donate, or help out in any way, shape or form. Everything is greatly appreciated :)

Volunteer Activity Description

Volunteers on the Medical and Dental Brigades will be working closely together to provide quality health initiatives to a community that otherwise has limited access to health care. Volunteers will spend three days in a community in order to optimize the amount of time patients are able to spend with the physicians and dentists. Each patient will receive a physician consultation, teeth cleaning and a fluoride treatment as well as have access to pap smears, prostate exams and restorative dental care as necessary. Volunteers will have the opportunity to take patient vitals, obtain patient history and current symptoms, shadow and assist licensed physicians and dentists, participate in preventative education, and fill prescriptions under a licensed pharmacist. Volunteers will become familiar with the prevalent health issues in their community and learn about how to prevent and treat those illnesses. These brigades provide each volunteer with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on a specific community while gaining real life experience in the field of international medicine and dentistry.
