Welcome to Foothill's 2018 Medical/Dental Brigade!

Hello everyone!
We'd like to welcome you all to our 2018 Medical/Dental brigade! We enjoyed chatting with all of you that came to visit our booth on club day. Here is a recap of the information we gave you.
Information recap:
  • We are the world's largest student-led global health organization!
  • We will be setting up a mobile clinic, working on water projects, and public health projects
  • In the mobile clinics, you will be able to experience many different aspects of medicine! (triage, observe doctors during consultations, work in our pharmacy and dental stations, work in our ophthalmology (vision) station!)
  • ANYONE 18+ can join us
  • No specific major required
  • No medical experience necessary (we'll teach you all you need to know)
  • No Spanish required (we'll have translators) 
  • DESTINATION: Honduras
  • Our brigade will take place AFTER Foothill's summer session but BEFORE 4-year semester schools start. August 11-17!
  • The price will be ~$1990 (not set in stone yet!)
  • No weekly meetings. We will however, have meetings to organize our fundraisers and would appreciate everyone's input and help! We of course understand if there are situations that hinder you from attending. Just let us know in advance.
  • We ask that people participate in our fundraisers as they are are the reason we get to go on our brigades! Remember, we're student funded!

We are ecstatic to get this year's fundraising events started!
