Aside from serving patients in Vietnam, VHC's other main objective is educating our students. Each year, 40 to 50 student members work hard to raise funds and acquire supplies in preparation for our mobile health clinic. On top of that, they attend weekly trainings to prepare for every aspect of our makeshift clinic — from measuring blood pressure, to taking medical history, to interpreting for our health professionals. Since the creation of VHC, over 300 students have volunteered with us and more than 40% have gone on to successfully pursue careers in healthcare.

VHC also empowers our previous members to become student officers and assist in training our members. No matter how much work or stress is involved each year, our student officers put the weight on their shoulders to make the trip successful and rewarding for all of the volunteers and health professionals.

We are excited to announce that the next VHC mobile health clinic is scheduled for the Summer of 2019!

Applications for student members are now closed, but if you would like to get updates on info sessions, upcoming events and programs, please subscribe to our email list here.

Want to help out with VHC in the community? Consider signing up to be a VHC volunteer! Throughout the year, our volunteers have the opportunity to work closely our community partners to plan and participate in memorable events such as fundraisers, mock clinics, and educational workshops as well as help us reach out to sponsors, donors and healthcare professionals for their support as our ambassadors. These opportunities will help provide you with a better understanding of our mission, the chance to give back, and the ability to network with new people.  It will also allow you to get valuable experience that would be beneficial to your application if you choose to later apply as a student member.
