Through close collaboration with the organization VAW Global, our club at the University of Pittsburgh strives towards providing rural communities in developing countries access to medical treatment, medication, and nutritional and health education.

Upcoming Initiatives

University of Pittsburgh Team A Medical Internship to Dominican Republic, May 2025

Join the University of Pittsburgh chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach Internship in 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 the University of Pittsburgh 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 makes 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 is not included
