McMaster Global Medical and Dental Brigade Wants YOU!
Medical and Dental Brigade volunteers have the opportunity to shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations, assist dentists in fillings and extractions, and work in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists. Each of our partner community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are treated and volunteers deliver public health workshops to educate patients in hygiene and preventative healthcare. 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.

Honduras and Panama are the current focus of Medical Brigades, where more than 3,000 annual student volunteers and health professionals travel to establish mobile clinics in under resourced communities. Communities are selected on an extensive study based on need, access to medicine and include a collection of information to create baseline demographic information.
