Passionate About:

Greetings,

My name is Jacob A. Thomas and I am a junior at Fisk University. I currently major in psychology with a concentration in pre-med as I have strong aspirations to become a pediatric psychiatrist. I am currently serving as an intern for the Fisk University Chapter of Volunteers Around The World (VAW). I am strongly passionate about providing quality healthcare to patients in the future and tackling health care disparities that disproportionately affect people of color. The outreach trip to Guatemala will help me become one step closer to reaching my dream career and also provide me the opportunity to make a change in the world currently.

  2. Chapter: VAW Global at Fisk University, Medical Outreach Internship
End Date: Mar 12, 2022 12:00 AM
Volunteer Activity Message

Join the Fisk University 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 FISK UNIVERSITY 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 2019, VAW Global treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2020. 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 Dec 5th
