Passionate About:

As someone who is deeply passionate about becoming a physician assistant, this mission means more to me than words can express. It’s a chance for me to not only expand my clinical skills but also to immerse myself in a community where healthcare resources are limited, and to make a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most.Through this trip, I’ll have the opportunity to provide essential medical care, work alongside healthcare professionals in a hands-on environment, and learn how to adapt to different challenges and patient needs. The experience will help shape me into a more compassionate, resourceful, and skilled provider. Your support is not just helping with the logistics of this mission, but also fueling my growth as a future healthcare provider. Knowing that you’re a part of this journey with me fills me with immense gratitude, and I can’t wait to share the impact of this experience with you.

Thank you again for being such an important part of this next step in my journey!

Join the University of Connecticut 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 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.
