Global Medical/Dental Brigades at San Francisco State University



  • About
    Global Brigades at SFSU involves undergraduate students in recruitment of health professionals and procurement of medical supplies and funds for the brigades. Our mission provides a great experience for pre-health students and an opportunity to get involved with networking, third-world issues, and volunteer work. Students will have an immersive experience while preparing for and during the trip. Hands-on experience includes setting up a temporary clinic and staffing it in multiple areas (triage, shadowing, pharmacy), as well as preventative healthcare projects. Being an entirely student-run organization, we depend on creative, hard-working, and dedicated individuals with a sincere interest in global health and other related issues.

Recent Initiative

San Francisco State University Medical Brigade June 2017


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.
