Stony Brook University Medical Internship to Dominican Republic, June 2025



Sofia's Message

Help me by donating any amount to my trip to the Dominican Republic! I will be helping patients and their families alongside physicians to get basic primary care services and medicines in the rural area of the mountains of Jarabacoa. I'll also be teaching small education classes for children of the area with my fellow interns to immerse ourselves in their culture and teach them about ours. Any amount is super appreciated! Thank You!

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the Stony Brook University chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach Internship to the Dominican Republic 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 Stony Brook University will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in the Dominican Republic.

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.
