SFSU Medical/Dental Brigade June 2014 Honduras

Start Date: Jun 1, 2014 12:00 AM
End Date: Jun 7, 2014 12:00 AM

Global Medical and Dental Brigades in Honduras work alongside each other on a 7-day long brigade in under-resourced communities of Honduras. Each medical and dental brigade incorporates a public health portion to the clinical days. The 7-day 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.
