VAW Global Health Alliance 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 focus 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 currently looking for students interested in the opportunity to travel abroad and be a part of VAW Global Health Alliance's mission to serve underserved communities. This 2 or 1-week internship is a great opportunity for pre-medical students to gain some hands-on experience in the field as well as anyone interested in leadership positions. Currently we are recruiting for the Winter 2026-2027 and Spring 2027 seasons.
If this medical internship is an opportunity you would like to be a part of, we would like to invite you to a mandatory info session.
Here are two dates below:
2/24 at Storrs campus from 6-7p in STRS 001
2/27 at Storrs campus from 6-7p in STRS 001
Please share if either of those dates work for you, so we know when to expect you through either email at raza.malik@uconn.edu or text to 860-268-7889. If none of those dates work, reach out and we can try to schedule a one on one or smaller group meeting based on your availability.
Also, please fill out this interest form so we can have all your information to make the process easier.
