UTSA Dental Internship to Peru, May-June 2022



Ithzel's Message

Hello everyone! As many of you know, I have been studying and pursuing my goal of becoming a dentist. This trip to Peru is a once in a lifetime opportunity I would love to be a part of. This trip would include providing needed dental care and overall basic medical knowledge to the Peruvian people. It is a blessing to help people and a part of who I am. This opportunity would enhance my chances of being accepted to dental school this summer.
The projected cost of this trip is $3,000 and for a college student, that is a significant amount. Any assistance is appreciated, and I promise it will be used to help the people of Peru and to reach my goal.

Volunteer Activity Description

Join UTSA 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 UTSA 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 2019, VAW Global treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2020. 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 goal will be updated once flights are purchased, tentatively the week of, Feb 21 – Mar 6, 2022.
