You have the power to energize Global Medical Brigades (GMB) today!
GMB is part of the international organization Global Brigades, dedicated to providing sustainable healthcare to underserved communities through mobile clinics. These clinics are staffed with volunteers, healthcare workers and community leaders to deliver essential medical services. This spring marks Carnegie Mellon’s 16th GMB brigade trip, where we will focus on providing basic physical and mental health care to a community in Belize that lacks regular access to medical services.
Our organization trains students to respectively engage with patients, take vitals and assist in patient care. Students have the opportunity to shadow physicians, help organize a pharmacy and assist in providing patients with their prescriptions and lead educational sessions for community members regarding sanitation and hygiene practices.
These experiences allow us to build meaningful connections with the communities, delivering effective and culturally sensitive care.
All supplies for our brigade trips are raised through fundraising efforts, including those on CMU Giving Day. Donations support our volunteer donation goals, which cover the cost of medical supplies and the hiring of local medical professionals essential for the trip's success. Any additional funds are used to help offset travel costs for participating members, making our mission more accessible to all.
Giving CMU Day is your chance to illuminate the next bright idea in Global Medical Brigades! 💡
