Mississippi State Medical Medical Internship to Peru, June 2022

Madison's Message

Hi! My name is Madison Hejny, and I am a Junior at Mississippi State University majoring in biochemistry with a pre-med concentration. My goal is to attend medical school and specialize in surgery. I aspire to help underprivileged people, especially women and minorities, obtain the medical help they need to live happier and healthier lives. This trip to Peru will help me not only do just that, but also to gain experience and knowledge that will assist me in my future endeavors in medicine. If you would like to be apart of something greater than yourself and allow these people with no access to medicine receive the checkups and medicine they need, then please take some time out of your day to donate to the cause. It would be greatly appreciated!

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the Mississippi State chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach Internship to Peru 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 Mississippi State Medical will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Peru.

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 February 14-27]
