Volunteers for Medical Outreach

MEDICAL / HEALTHCARE - INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Members of Volunteers for Medical Outreach seek to provide free medical and health care to people who cannot afford hospital services. The organization will provide students with a way to extend their services internationally to other countries. Every school year, members of Volunteers for Medical Outreach organize various events in order to raise funds for our cause. 100% of the proceeds we make go directly toward funding mobile health clinics, Hepatitis B vaccinations and corrective surgeries for underserved areas in the global community. During the summer, we travel abroad to volunteer amongst doctors, dentists, and pharmacists at the mobile health and vaccination clinics that we fund, teach public health lessons to the communities we visit, visit hospitals to view the disparities of healthcare systems in different countries, and serve the community in non-medically related ways as well. So far, VMO has established a strong presence in Southern and Central Vietnam, but we are hopeful about expanding our services to other countries as our organization continues to grow. Applications for new trip members and general members are now open on our website (<a href="https://vmo.berkeley.edu/apply">vmo.berkeley.edu</a>)! Please email or message us if you have any questions! Learn more about us at Calapalooza!
