Elon University Global Brigades



  • About
    Elon University Global Brigades chapter was started in 2008 with its first brigade in May of 2009. During our inaugural brigade we saw 650 patients with the help of fifteen students, two doctors and one nurse. We are currently gearing up for our second medical brigade to Honduras on August 18th through the 24th. We have twenty dedicated students and medical professionals and are hoping to see more than 700 patients during the course of the week.

Elon University Medical Brigade July 2017 Nicaragua


Volunteer Activity Description
Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama and Nicaragua. During a Medical Brigade, volunteers have the opportunity to take vitals and patient history in triage, shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations, and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists. Each of our partner communities receives a brigade approximately twice a year. Between brigades, our in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and to conduct Community Health Worker (CHW) trainings to empower local leaders to sustain a consistent level of healthcare. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.
