Passionate About:

I am a current student at the University of Texas at San Antonio on the pre-dental track pursuing a major in Biochemistry. I am a Brush Rush leader for the Pre-Dental society where I travel to different schools and help educate kids on the importance of dental health. I choose dentistry because I have a passion of helping others and serving my community. This trip will allow me to learn more dentistry as well as serve unprivileged communities in need of certain dental treatments.

 Join the University of Georgia on their Dental Outreach Internship in Guatemala this Winter! 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 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 Georgia 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
