Tulane Medical/Dental Brigade Honduras March 2014



Stephanie's Message

I am a sophomore at Tulane University studying French, Social Innovations and Social Entrepreneurship, with a pre-medical focus. I have always had a passion for Community Service, and I could not pass up this opportunity to help those in the rural areas of Honduras while gaining real-world medical experience. Thank you for any help you can provide. This would not be possible without your love and support! If you have any question or would like to learn more about my trip, don't hesitate to contact me (Sshea1@tulane.edu).

Volunteer Activity Description

Volunteers on the Medical and Dental Brigades will be working closely together to provide quality health initiatives to a community that otherwise has limited access to health care. Volunteers will spend three days in a community in order to optimize the amount of time patients are able to spend with the physicians and dentists. Each patient will receive a physician consultation, teeth cleaning and a fluoride treatment as well as have access to pap smears, prostate exams and restorative dental care as necessary. Volunteers will have the opportunity to take patient vitals, obtain patient history and current symptoms, shadow and assist licensed physicians and dentists, participate in preventative education, and fill prescriptions under a licensed pharmacist. Volunteers will become familiar with the prevalent health issues in their community and learn about how to prevent and treat those illnesses. These brigades provide each volunteer with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on a specific community while gaining real life experience in the field of international medicine and dentistry
