Passionate About:

Majoring in biological sciences at the University of San Francisco will be the backbone to my future in medicine. After my six month stay at Rady's Children's hospital in San Diego, I observed the way that the doctors and nurses were communicating with their patients and I want to be a part of that. Throughout my stay, I learned a lot of new things about the medical field that I didn't know before. The health field is not just all about the diagnoses or treatments, it’s about the connections and stories that each patient has.

VAW San Francisco Medical Outreach trip to Vietnam, December 2020



Volunteer Activity Description

Join the San Francisco chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to Vietnam this upcoming Winter! 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 San Francisco will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Vietnam.

One of the most exciting and important parts of volunteering with VAW is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2019, VAW 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 [August, 26-30]
