About Us

The Vanderbilt University chapter of VAW Global Health Alliances (VAW Global) is made up of students who are enthusiastic and committed to addressing the health disparities that currently exist in developing countries. Through close collaboration with VAW Global, our club at Vanderbilt University strives to provide rural communities in developing countries with access to medical treatment, medication, and nutritional and health education.

If you're interested in global medicine and want to be part of one of Vanderbilt University’s most engaged clubs on campus, become a member and check out our website for more information, or attend one of our info sessions!




Upcoming Initiatives

Vanderbilt Medical Internship to Guatemala, Marzo 2025

 Join the Vanderbilt chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach Internship to Guatemala this upcoming Spring! 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 Vanderbilt 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 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. **Note: airfare is not included
