About
The UC Berkeley 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 Berkeley strives towards providing rural communities in developing countries access towards medical treatment, medication, nutritional education, and health education.

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

UC Berkeley Medical Internship to Uzbekistan, July 2023

Volunteer Activity Description

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

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 2022! 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.
