Website Mission Membership Benefits

Mission
Our mission is to give pre-health, specifically pre-dental students, the unique opportunity to assist communities in underserved regions around the world by promoting dental health and providing essential oral care. We hope to help bridge the gap in global healthcare by delivering dental services, education, and resources to countries with limited access to dental care. In creating an atmosphere of teamwork among students, professionals, and local communities, we seek to improve oral healthcare and create sustainable impact.

Membership Benefits
The primary membership benefit of this club is the potential opportunity to travel abroad as part of a global dental initiative to assist in oral healthcare for those in need. We intend to host fundraising events to help us raise money to travel abroad; these events can range from selling goods/food to hosting movie nights, and anything that would allow us to garner the interest of our fellow students to raise money. Additionally, we hope to offer volunteering opportunities during the year in Cleveland so our members can gain experience before traveling abroad. This could be in or out of the dental field as experiences with both dental skills as well as with people are valuable. Communications for this will include social media posts, emails, and GroupMe messages. We seek to offer pre-dental students an extremely unique opportunity to further their interest in dental medicine while in college while also partaking in social services.
Given that Medical Brigades and Dental Brigades offer separate chapters nation wide, we hope to offer this diversity at Case Western and give pre dental students a unique opportunity to partake in dental activism in a manner that is not offered at CWRU.
