VAW at Cornell, Medical Outreach

About
The Cornell University chapter of Volunteers Around the World (VAW) consists of students that are enthusiastic and committed about addressing the health disparities that currently exists in developing countries. Through close collaboration with the Non-Governmental Organization, Volunteers Around the World, our club at Cornell strives towards providing rural communities in developing countries access towards medical treatment, medication and nutritional and health education.

If you're interested in global medicine and want to be part of one of Cornell's most involved clubs on campus, then become a member and check out our website for more information or come to one of our info sessions!

Cornell Medical Outreach trip to DR, January 2018

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the Cornell chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to DR this upcoming Winter! 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 Cornell will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in DR.

One of the most exciting and important parts of volunteering with VAW is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2017, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2018. 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 November 23-30
