Passionate About:

I’m truly passionate about medicine and helping others, especially when it comes to providing medical care to underserved communities. I believe that everyone deserves access to quality healthcare, no matter their background or where they come from. This summer, I’m excited to take part in a medical internship where I can learn, grow, and actively contribute to improving healthcare access for those who need it most. Your support would mean so much as I continue to pursue my dream of making a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

Volunteer Activity Message

Join the San Diego State University chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach Internship to the Dominican Republic this upcoming Summer! 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 San Diego State University will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in the Dominican Republic.

One of the most exciting and important parts of interning with VAW Global is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2023, VAW Global treated over 17,500 patients and we aspire to treat over 20,000 in 2024! 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.
