Lehigh's chapter of Global Medical Brigades will be embarking on a journey to Belize, January 11-18th, 2025. On this trip, students will have the opportunity to shadow doctors and support medical staff at pop-up medical clinics in remote communities that are lacking healthcare. During their time at the clinic, they will have the chance to participate in many stations including: intake and triage, consultation (students shadow doctors only), dental station – help by passing tools (similar to dental assistant), charla - provide educational info to adults or children, optometry - giving out glasses, pharmacy - arranging bags for prescribed medication, and data informatics - students enter patient info from the day into their system. Throughout the trip, personal protection is provided (face shields, masks, etc.) when necessary. Beyond the pop-up clinic, Global Medical Brigades educates students on the culture of the country and brings students to important historical sites for a one day brief excursion. This trip is an incredible opportunity for pre-med, pre-dental, or pre-health students to explore their interests, give back to an underserved community, and experience cultural immersion in Central America.
