UF Medical Outreach trip to the Dominican Republic, July 2019



Emma's Message

As an aspiring nurse, I have always felt a passion for helping individuals reach the best versions of themselves. Health disparities have prevented many individuals across the world from attaining this best version of themselves. By providing healthcare services and necessary medication to those with limited access in the Dominican Republic, I hope to give these individuals the push they need to move towards physical and emotional health.

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the UF Medical chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to the DR this upcoming Summer! Volunteers 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 at UF Medical will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in the DR.

One of the most exciting and important parts of volunteering with VAW is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2018, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2019. 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 goal will be updated once flights are purchased, tentatively the week of April 8-12.
