Global Brigades is the largest, student-led sustainable organization in the world. Here at the University of Arizona we have several distinctions of Global Brigades, medical being one of them. Medical brigade volunteers set up clinics in rural communities in either Honduras or Panamá to provide health care where access is limited. Brigaders are given the opportunity to shadow licensed health care professionals while learning about cultures abroad. A typical Medical Brigade clinic consists of six stations: Intake, Triage, Consultation, Dental, Charla (health education), and Pharmacy. For every student who volunteers on a brigade, sixty patients can see a doctor who otherwise would not be able to. We currently have vacant spots on two of our brigades-Panama during Spring Break and Honduras in the beginning of summer.

If you are interested in joining Global Medical Brigades or traveling with us, email our president, Niki Iranmanesh, at ua.gmb.president at gmail.com (mailto:ua.gmb.president at gmail.com) for questions or further instructions

Bear Down

Looking for ways to get involved in the Tucson community?  Be a role model and mentor middle school students through Project SOAR!

Project SOAR is a 2-unit service-learning course (HED 397B) designed for those committed to providing mentoring for students at under-resourced middle schools in the Tucson community, in an effort to increase the academic achievement for these students. This course provides an introduction to research around learning and developmental factors as well as cultural, social and environmental factors that affect student academic achievement and the path to higher education.

Although there is an academic component to this upper-division course, a majority of the time (2 hrs/wk) is spent mentoring at a local middle school (we serve 12 middle schools in the Tucson area, most of which are about a 20 min drive from campus) for a total of 25 hours per semester (this includes travel time & prep time). Carpooling is available, students DO NOT have to have a car.

You can enroll in HED 397B directly on UAccess Student link.

4. What holistic medicine is and the philosophy behind naturopathic medicine!

When:
Wednesday, November the 19 @ 4:00 pm.

Where:
Psychology Building Room 304

This will be the location of all future meetings, which will be recurring, bi-monthly, but we'll be sending out reminders as the time for those meetings approaches!
