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

VAW Global at University of Alabama 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 2022, VAW Global treated over 12,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 20,000 in 2023! 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.
