George Mason University Medical Internship to Guatemala, January 2024



Alexandra's Message

Hello Everyone, My name is Alexandra Diaz Merida, I am a junior at George Mason University majoring in community health on a pre-pa track. I love to travel and go to new places, I get to learn more about different cultures and more about the people! This helps me understand the world better and improves my different perspective. This internship is going to give me the opportunity to help people and it will also help me in many different ways.

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the George Mason University's chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach Internship to Guatemala this upcoming winter! interns will work in mobile medical clinics, where they will have the opportunity to intake patients, conduct public health surveys, take vitals, shadow local physicians, work in the pharmacy, teach education classes, and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information!

VAW Global at GMU will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Guatemala.

One of the most exciting and important parts of interning with VAW Global is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2022, VAW Global treated over 12,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 20,000 in 2023! One of the things that make our mobile clinics unique is that we not only triage and diagnose patients, but also provide them with the basic medications needed. Fundraising for medications is a huge part of creating a successful mobile clinic to help the local communities with effective care.
