University of Alabama Medical Internship to Panama, May 2022



Catherine's Message

Hi! I am beyond excited to have the opportunity to intern on the 2022 Medical Outreach Trip with VAW. This organization instills so much positive change in global healthcare and YOU can help to! By supporting my page, you will be supporting the thousands of patients treated at VAW's clinics, the wonderful native doctors who provide care, and interns like me who get to embark on this experience in efforts to make the world a healthier place!

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the University of Alabama 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 University of Alabama 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 2020. 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 [put week that your team’s tickets will be purchased, eg, January 7-21]
