Indiana University at Bloomington Dental Internship to Guatemala, June 2024



Alexis's Message

My name is Alexis, a junior at Indiana University - Bloomington, on a pre-dental track majoring in Biology. This upcoming summer I have been accepted into a travel abroad internship to Guatemala. It’s a great opportunity in which I will learn of dental procedures, clinical operations, treatments, techniques, and more! The funds will be used to cover the cost of the internship (separate from the round trip airfare) Any donations are appreciated!

Volunteer Activity Description

Join Indiana University at Bloomington on their Dental Outreach Internship to Guatemala this Summer! interns will have the opportunity to learn about various dental procedures, such as cleanings, restorations, fillings, and extractions, learn about the current healthcare system in Guatemala and teach a public health class and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information!

VAW Global at Indiana University at Bloomington will be opening up mobile dental clinics for local communities during their time in Guatemala.

One of the most exciting and important parts of interning with VAW Global is bringing full dental clinics and primary care medical clinics 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 dental mobile clinics unique is that we are able to perform multiple procedures including fillings, restorations, cleanings and extractions at the mobile clinic. Fundraising for supplies and medications is a huge part of creating a successful mobile clinic to help the local communities with effective care.

**Note: airfare is NOT included
