University of South Carolina Medical Internship to Peru, June 2024



Keynan's Message

University of South Carolina 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

I am a senior, biological sciences major from McCormick, SC. I am heavily involved on campus through several organizations and volunteering events. To name a few, I am the president of Black Capstone Caucus, Treasurer and Fundraising Chair of the Theta Nu Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., and I am a member of Black Medical Student Association, University Ambassador, and much more. Join in helping me reach my goal for this mission trip. I am passionate about healthcare and willing to make make strong efforts to help the world through outreach. Me and my colleagues will be opening clinics for local communities during our time at Peru.

One of the most exciting and important parts of interning with VAW Global is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2023, VAW Global treated over 17,500 patients and we aspire to treat over 20,000 in 2024! 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.
