University of Georgia Medical Internship to Peru, May 2022 Group B

Avry's Message

Hi everyone! Immediately following UGA graduation I am blessed to announce I have the opportunity to travel to Cusco, Peru for two weeks with UGA's Volunteers Around the World Medical Team! I am always looking to immerse myself in different healthcare environments and UGA VAW is doing just that and preparing students like myself for PA school. While in Peru, I will have the opportunity to help provide healthcare directly to patients in mobile medical clinics and learn from local physicians. I am looking forward to being able to give back, and see how different healthcare systems function in another country. In order for my group to be able to go on this trip, we are each fundraising to best be able to help the local communities in Peru. If you would like to be a part of this journey, prayers, thoughts, and any financial help would be greatly appreciated. Below, I have attached the link to donate, and I can also accept any donation through my venmo- @ascoggins . I am so excited to grow and prepare myself in a new healthcare setting, and appreciate any contribution and support towards this experience! :)

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the UGA Medical chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach Internship to Peru 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 UGA will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Peru.

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 [January 25-February 7]
