Medical Brigades at SUNY New Paltz

Medical Brigade volunteers will set up temporary clinics in pre-identified communities in Honduras (May 2015) 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 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.
