Passionate About:

I am passionate about helping people feel become more confident through their smile especially to the less fortunate. During my time in Peru, my dream of allowing more people the opportunity of oral care will come true. This internship will not only creates awareness of how healthcare situations are in different parts of the world, but also in general, how the US compares to other countries. The money raised will go towards funding a trip to shadow dental professionals, work side by side with experienced local dentists, take patient history, and learning more about basic procedures such as extractions, fillings, and x-rays. Most importantly, the fundraised money goes primarily towards allowing families to be able to feel confident and healthy in regards to their oral health.

University of Texas at Austin Dental Internship to Peru, May 2024

Volunteer Activity Description

Join University of Texas at Austin on their Dental Outreach Internship to Peru 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 Peru, and teach a public health class and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information!

VAW Global at the University of Texas at Austin will be opening up mobile dental clinics for local communities during their time in Peru.

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.
