Global Brigades
Global Brigades is the largest student-led movement for global health and sustainable development. Students travel to remote, rural, and under resourced communities in Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua and Ghana where they work alongside health professionals, local communities, and staff to run a mobile medical clinic and build sustainable health projects. We send medical mission trips over the Winter and Spring break.
Global Brigades is open to:
Pre-Medical Students
Pre-Pharmacy Students
Pre-Dental Students
Pre-Nursing Students
Pre-Optometry Students
Any other health professions or non-health professions oriented
Students Gain:
- Shadowing hours
- Hands on experience in a medical setting
- The opportunity to positively influence global health
