Passionate About:

Science! As I pursue my degree in microbiology, I continue to fall more in love with the medical sciences. Infectious disease and virology are two of my favorites topics, and I cannot wait to learn more about them as I progress through college. Attending this trip is beyond exciting, and I couldn't be happier to offer my hand to those in need! This trip will be such a wonderful volunteer opportunity to take part in, and I look forward to making the biggest impact I can!

Volunteer Activity Message

Join the University of Alabama chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to Peru 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 the University of Alabama will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Peru.

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 January 22-29, 2019
