Upcoming Initiative

UC Davis Medical Internship to Panama, July 2025

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the UC Davis 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 UC Davis 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 2023, VAW Global treated over 17,500 patients and we aspire to treat over 20,000 in 2025! 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.
