Passionate About:

Giving everyone access to healthcare! My name is Julia Mamana and I am the Clinical Chair for VAW at UA! I am a junior biology student and I do biomedical research on viral meningitis. I currently am a Medical Assistant, but I want to become a trauma surgeon someday. I traveled to Panama last summer with VAW and it was the best experience of my life. I am incredibly excited for the opportunity to get to learn about Peru's medical system and help people in need.

Volunteer Activity Message

Join the University of Alabama 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 University of Alabama 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 the week of [put week that your team’s tickets will be purchased, eg, January 7-21]
