University of Pittsburgh Medical Internship to Peru, April 2024



Emma's Message

Through VAW Global, the University of Pittsburgh chapter will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities in Peru this summer! As some of you may know, I was able to travel to Vietnam last summer through this club. I easily had the best experience of my life while making a real impact on the lives of so many others. I am excited to be given this opportunity again, and wanted to ask for help with fundraising! All donations made will do directly towards the clinics and medications/equipment needed to treat patients.

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the University of Pittsburgh chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach Internship to 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 University of Pittsburgh 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 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.
