GMB Portland - General Volunteer Form
GMB Portland - Medical Professional Form
GB intro presentation
We are looking for enthusiastic, innovative, and service-oriented students to be a part of our organization and attend our March 2011 Brigade, tentatively scheduled for March ######th – March #####th 2011. Brigaders are an integral part of the program, both before and during the brigade. Brigaders will gain valuable, hands-on clinical and public health experience while participating in a meaningful movement towards improving the health and livelihoods of undeserved communities in rural Honduras.
While preparing for the trip, brigaders will be able to:
* Enhance leadership, written, and oral skills by working on a committee (recruiting physicians, collecting
medications, and fundraising)
* Learn about public health issues in Honduras by attending meetings. Meetings will provide pertinent background
information necessary for understanding the present-day conditions in Honduras
* Acquire technical medical skills (blood pressure, glucose measurements, taking vitals) that will ensure success on
the brigades
* Learn, practice, or teach medical Spanish
* Develop networks within and beyond the organization
While in Honduras, brigaders’ responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
· Packing medications
· Setting up clinics
· Recording patient information
· Taking vitals
· Shadowing physicians
· Assisting physicians when necessary
· Assisting in the implementation of various public health initiatives
BRIGADER RESPONSIBILITIES AND REQUIREMENTS
1. Collective fundraising goal: $10,000
As a collective unit, your brigade will be responsible for raising enough money to pay for the medications necessary for the brigade. The tentative target goal is $10,000. Be creative and put your ideas into action!
2. Find physicians to be a part of the brigade; goal: 4 physicians (and/or nurse practitioners, or PAs), and 1 pharmacist.
In addition, your brigade and fellow committee members will be responsible for finding physicians who will come on to the trip. Please note that without a physician, the trip will not be possible.
Let’s make this trip happen!
