Santa Cruz, CA

Passionate About:

I am pursuing a medical degree because my passion lies in saving as many children and adults as I can. I would love to become a neonatal surgeon and conduct research on Alzheimer's disease someday. I want to also produce a method for chemotherapy that is less painful and give better results, and make it affordable for everyone to use. I would like to travel and shadow doctors at different rural areas to learn more about what I can do to better improve the medical industry to allow everyone, especially rural communities, to get the same medical care as everyone else. I want to volunteer my time to help treat patients and give them an equal opportunity to get the help they need. My passion is helping people and being a catalyst for social change.

UC Santa Cruz Medical Outreach trip to Panama, August 2019
  1. Affiliated Organization: VAW Global Health Alliances
  2. Chapter: VAW at UC Santa Cruz, Medical Outreach
End Date: Sep 13, 2019 12:00 AM
Volunteer Activity Message

Join the UC Santa Cruz chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to Panama this upcoming summer! Volunteers 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 at UCSC will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Panama.

One of the most exciting and important parts of volunteering with VAW is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2018, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2019. 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 April 29-May 3, 2019
