One thing I learned is that it is difficult for people in rural communities to access healthcare.

I will carry with me the fact that being in the medical field doesn’t mean that I have to stay in California, but that people need help all over the world.

Yes, I plan to stay updated with Global Brigades news.

I learned how many individual in Ghana go as the day of the week they were born on for their name. I also learned about the traditional herbal remedies used instead of medication.

1. I learned that malaria is a disease caused by a parasite. UTs occur when the urinary tract becomes infected, usually by bacteria. Evidence for the effectiveness of herbal medicines is generally very limited.

2. ﻿﻿﻿International development focuses on improving the well-being and economic conditions of people worldwide. In dermatology, I can contribute by addressing skin health disparities, providing medical care in underserved areas, and advocating for global health policies that prioritize dermatological needs.

3. ﻿﻿﻿I can stay involved with Global Brigades by volunteering on future medical or dermatology brigades, pursuing opportunities for leadership roles within the organization, advocating for global health initiatives, and continuing to engage with global health issues through education, research, and partnerships in my dermatology career.

I enjoyed observing the consultations, learning parts of the language spoken in Ghana, and learning how people’s names begin with the day of the week they were born. I also learned how fast and efficient the consultations are. I think i can apply certain parts to my life by expanding my knowledge of languages, and being able to quickly diagnose patients in the future. I would like to stay involved with GB by keeping track of the condition of these communities, and someday visiting them too.

I learned that people have two names, on in Fante for the day they were born and their name. I will apply what I learned to my life by being more aware when I am in a medical situation to see the differences. I will stay involved by looking at other countries and their healthcare to broaden my view

1. I learned that Ghana implements the water and sanitation models as a way to sustain the public health program. They have volunteers go build or brainstorm ways to keep communities cleaner. One example was the building of bathrooms

2. I am going to apply this to my life by using patient consultations as a way to improve my own social skills. It taught me how to properly talk to them and get to the root of the problem.

3. Yes, I am going to stay involved with Global Brigades as their holistic model is an important goal that effectively works and impacts many people in need.

I learned about how to interact with patients and the medical culture in Ghana, like the fact that malaria and diabetes are very common. I will apply the same social skills the doctor used when talking to people or patients in the future. I can also keep in mind the common diseases and compare with other countries to find commonalities. I would like to stay involved with Global Brigades by keeping up with the newsletter and such.

i learned how difficult it is for rural communities to get medical attention. I will remember, as I continue in the medical journey, that there are people in the world who can't get medical help and work to improve these kinds of situations. I hope to stay involved with Global Brigades.
