Loyola U Medical/Dental January 2015 Panama



Carla's Message

Hello to all of my lovely friends and family! I, along with other Loyola students will be embarking on a medical/dental brigade to Panama this January through the Global Brigades Organization. We will be working alongside an amazing group of doctors and dentists and will be providing health care to a particular, under-resourced community. Although, with all great experiences like this, there is a cost. So, I am reaching out to you to help me participate in this trip. By clicking on the link below you can donate to my trip. Every cent makes a difference! I have always wanted to attend a trip like this and I can't do it without your support! So please help me reach my goal of $1800. Thanks all, stay beautiful! :)

Volunteer Activity Description

Medical Brigade volunteers will set up temporary clinics in pre-identified communities in Eastern Panama to provide healthcare 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 Panamanian 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.
