University of Alabama Dental Team B Internship to Peru, May 2025

Kayla's Message

Hi, I’m Kayla Leung, a freshman at the University of Alabama majoring in Biology on the pre-dental track. I am passionate about pursuing a career in dentistry and have plans to attend UCLA Dental School in 2027, graduating early. This summer, I’ve been offered a two-week dental internship in Peru, which would provide me with invaluable hands-on experience and allow me to gain a global perspective in the field. Unfortunately, my university doesn’t offer the opportunity to take my remaining courses abroad, so this internship is a unique chance for me to study abroad and further my dental career. I’m seeking donations to help cover the costs of this experience. Any support would be greatly appreciated as I take this important step toward my future in dentistry. Thank you!

Volunteer Activity Description

Join University of Alabama Team B 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 University of Alabama Team B 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.
