Mission
Global Medical Brigades is an organization that will provide consistent access to healthcare to citizens in economically disadvantaged countries. Nationally it is the world's largest student-led global health organization. CWRU's chapter will undertake a mobile clinic in one of four underserved countries annually along with chapters across the nation in order to improve the quality of life in those countries. While on this brigade, CWRU students will ensure the underserved citizen's access to primary health care and health education. Additionally, the organization will be involved in educating the CWRU and Cleveland community about Global Health issues present throughout the world.

Membership Benefits
Members have opportunities to volunteer and shadow medical professionals both in Cleveland and abroad. They also have the opportunity to travel to another country to participate in a medical brigade where they can be involved in providing health care to communities in need.
