Boston College Medical Outreach trip to Peru, Winter 2021-2022

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the Boston College Medical chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to Peru this upcoming Winter 2021-2022! 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 Boston College will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Peru.

One of the most exciting and important parts of working with VAW Global is bringing medication to the local communities. In 2018, VAW Global 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.
