Passionate About:

I am extremely passionate about providing quality care for minority populations by creating trusting relationships and systemic practices amongst patients and providers. Medicine is supposed to be patient-centered, and I plan on making this a reality for those who have lost faith in our system. This drive is brought on by firsthand experiences with my family members which taught me how important language and cultural competence is within the medical field. These experiences reinforced my own belief that medical professionals must tailor healthcare practices to the population being served, taking social, cultural and linguistic needs of patients into consideration. As a future Physician Assistant, I want to be a part of the system and help to enforce such practices.

New York University Medical Internship to Panama, March 2024

End Date: Mar 23, 2024 12:00 AM

Volunteer Activity Message

Join the New York University chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach Internship to Panama 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 New York University 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 2024! 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.
