UC Berkeley Medical Outreach trip to the Dominican Republic, May 2019



Amber's Message

Hello everyone!

I'm very excited to inform you all that I will be traveling to the Dominican Republic this summer. We'll be aiding locals by taking blood pressures, measuring blood glucose levels, healing poverty-stricken regions with much needed medication, and giving our time and hearts to the less fortunate. If you or anyone you know at UC Berkeley is interested, please sign up!

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the Berkeley chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to the Dominican Republic this upcoming summer! Volunteers 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 at Berkeley 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 volunteering with VAW is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2018, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2019. 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.

**Note: airfare goal will be updated once flights are purchased, tentatively the week of [put week that your team’s tickets will be purchased, eg, March 4-8]
