University of Illinois Chicago Medical Internship to Panama, August 2022



Joshua's Message

Medical outreach is an opportunity to demonstrate my commitment and passion for serving underprivileged communities. Practicing medicine has been my goal since I was a kid. I'm grateful for any verbal support you can give! Just reading this short message means a lot! Support me on my journey to Panama!

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the University of Illinois Chicago chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach Internship to Panama 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 the University of Illinois Chicago will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Panama.

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 on April.
