Reviews

Team Leader

July 2020 - July 2022 Athens, GA
“Going to Guatemala was one of the best experiences that I have had in my college experience. We were able to serve a community that needed our temporary assistance. I like that VAW Global's mission is to be temporary, so we can help the countries get a point where they can get to a point of no longer needing interns. ”

“I absolutely loved my internship in Guatemala with the VAW Medical team from Butler University last May 2021, so much so that I had to come back to lead a team with Loyola U Chicago in May 2022. I loved interacting with patients, learning to take patient vitals, shadowing local providers, working with local nurses and pharmacists, and learning basic pharmacology. This trip drew my closer to medicine, while doing so in the beautiful location of Lake Atitlan.”
