Volunteer Activity Description

Start Date: Jul 15, 2025 10:26 PM
End Date: Jul 29, 2025 12:00 AM

Join the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign chapter as they lead a Veterinary Outreach Internship to Peru this upcoming Summer! Interns will work in mobile clinics, where they will have the opportunity to take patient history, and basic vital signs, shadow veterinarians, learn about the importance of different animals in locals' lives, and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information!

VAW Global at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign will be opening up mobile veterinary clinics for local communities as well as assisting at local animal care facilities during their time in Peru.

One of the most exciting and important parts of interning with VAW Global is bringing medication 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 makes our mobile clinics unique is that we not only triage and diagnose patients but also provide them with the basic medications needed. Fundraising for medications is a huge part of creating a successful mobile clinic to help the local communities with effective care.
