University of Connecticut Team B Medical Internship to Peru, June 2025



Baylee's Message

Hi, it's Baylee!
I was presented with an amazing opportunity to attend a two-week medical outreach trip to Peru through an organization called VAW Global. This trip will be taking place from June 17th to July 1st. This gives me only a few months to accumulate the funds to make the most of my trip. I have a goal of a little over $2,000 for this trip, so any donations are welcome and greatly appreciated.

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the University of Connecticut Team B chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach Internship in Peru 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 the University of Connecticut Team B will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Peru.

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 makes 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.
