University of Georgia Medical Internship to Guatemala, March 2025



Ellie's Message

Hi everyone!

I am so excited to join the University of Georgia chapter of VAW Global on a Medical Outreach Internship to Guatemala this spring.

I’m passionate about helping underserved communities gain access to quality healthcare, and this experience is a chance to make a real difference. One of the most impactful parts of this trip is fundraising for medications and supplies that will be provided directly to patients in need. Your generous donation will help us ensure that we can deliver life-changing care to these communities.

Thank you so much for your support—it truly means the world to me and those that we will serve in Guatemala!

-Ellie Dickenson

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the University of Georgia 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 University of Georgia 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.
