Are you interested in the healthcare field or are you Pre-Med/Pre-PA? Looking for shadowing and volunteer hours with local physicians and healthcare providers? Interested in traveling abroad? Join VAW Global Health Allainces at UConn!
VAW Global Health Alliances, UConn Chapter is a global health and development organization committed to cultivating sustainable and equitable partnerships with local communities and professionals through support and capacity-building for essential and accessible health services. Our goal is to work hand-in-hand with local initiatives and leaders to provide communities with improved access to medical, dental, and veterinary treatment, medication, nutritional security, clean water, and health education. We are a student-run organization with a focus in providing communities with access to medical treatment, medication, and health education, while familiarizing students with real-life medical situations involving actual patients. This unique abroad experience permits students to gain invaluable first-hand knowledge of medicine and its practice in foreign countries.
In summer 2022, we will be traveling to Peru to shadow and work with local physicans and gaining hands on medical experience with patients in a clinic for one week. This oppurtunity is open to ALL majors and years. E-Board Leadership positions are also open! If interested, fill out this form to be put on the email list. We will be sending out details regarding an information session soon. Email us with any questions or DM us on instagram @vaw.uconn!!
