Vanderbilt Medical Internship to Guatemala, Marzo 2025

Gianna's Message

I am so excited to be volunteering in Guatemala and providing care in a different country! I am deeply appreciative of the opportunity to participate in multifaceted clinics, offering a variety of healthcare services. As a student passionate about providing equitable care to all populations, but especially the pediatric population, I look forward to learning and growing through this experience, and I am eager to see where this internship takes me.

During the trip, I will participate in many aspects of healthcare including:

Patient intake & vitals
Shadowing local physicians
Distributing medications
Teaching public health lessons to local children

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the Vanderbilt 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 Vanderbilt 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.
