Join the Virginia Tech chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach Internship to Peru this upcoming Winter! 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 Virginia Tech will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Peru.

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.

**Note: airfare goal will be updated once flights are purchased, tentatively the week of August 29 - September 11

Saying "Hey! I was on the Loyola medical outreach team that went to Guatemala last month. While I was there I had a friend donate some money so I thought the best way to go about it was to pay it forward and donate it to someone that has a future internship. I hope you have a great time and enjoy every minute of it :) "
