Passionate About:

I am passionate about minimizing health disparities among disadvantaged populations, which is the reason why I am interested in a medical career. One of the ways I plan on accomplishing this is by participating in voluntary missions to impoverished areas in many different countries where people need access to high quality healthcare to heal/improve the ailments that severely diminish their quality of life.

University of Florida Team A Medical Internship to Panama, June 2023



Volunteer Activity Description

Join the University of Florida Team A chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach Internship to Panama 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 the University of Florida will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Panama.

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 2022! 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.
