About Us

The Nova Medical chapter of VAW Global Health Alliances (VAW Global ) consists of students that are enthusiastic and committed about addressing the health disparities that currently exist in developing countries. Through close collaboration with the organization VAW Global, our club at Nova strives towards providing rural communities in developing countries access towards medical treatment, medication and nutritional and health education.

If you're interested in global medicine and want to be part of one of Nova’s most involved clubs on campus, then become a member and check out our website for more information or come to one of our info sessions!




Upcoming Initiatives

NOVA Medical Internship to Peru, March 2025

 Join the NOVA chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach Internship to Perú this upcoming Spring! 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 NOVA will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Perú. One of the most exciting and important parts of interning with VAW Global is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2023, VAW Global treated over 17,500 patients and we aspire to treat over 20,000 in 2024! 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 is not included
