Global Medical Brigade

Chrissy and Alyssa, UCSB students and members of the student-group, the Global Medical Brigade, inspired Anacapa students to think about global health issues. The Global Health Brigade, the world’s largest student-run organization in global health, sends students around the world to engage in preventative health issues, such as the availability of clean water. Chrissy and Alyssa represented the UCSB chapter of the group and are hoping to involve Anacapa and the Santa Barbara community in a vitamin drive to supply their clinics on their next international trip. Interested students can also get involved by attending meetings at UCSB or serving as patients during an upcoming mock brigade, in which group members practice medical scenarios they may encounter on a trip.
