Passionate About:

Growing up with parents who had immigrated from a third world country has allowed me insight into how things were in some countries. Now that I am older, I would like to help as much as I can however I can. While there are many different opportunities in the States, being able to be a part of VAW allows me to combine my desire to be a part of something bigger than me with my desire to explore beyond the States.

University of Illinois Chicago Medical Internship to Guatemala, March 2023



Volunteer Activity Description

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

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.
