San Francisco State University Medical Outreach trip to Guatemala, January 2019



Maria's Message

Hello I am the VAW Co-President chair. I am in my last year of college, I am currently working on my B.S. in Biology concentration in Physiology and minor in chemistry. I as well enjoy doing ethical research. Highly excited to go on a trip that will allow my to see the world in a new light and vulnerable populations that deserve medical care. This trip will allow me to gain so much experience and skills that no other training or opportunities can offer.

Volunteer Activity Description

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

One of the most exciting and important parts of volunteering with VAW is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2017, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2018. 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 29-September 5, 2018
