George Mason University Dental Internship to Peru, August 2023

Colby's Message

Hello, my name is Colby McDaniel! I am currently a senior at Virginia Commonwealth University studying Biology. I am planning on applying to dental school this summer with the goal of becoming a general dentist and servicing underserved communities both in the country and internationally. I attended the VAW Dental Outreach trip to Peru last summer and was able to assist in providing residents of Cusco and Fortaleza with adequate dental care and dental hygiene education that can be challenging to receive in certain communities. I am fundraising to be able to make my way back to Peru this summer to provide more support and education to these communities!

Volunteer Activity Description

Join George Mason University 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 George Mason University 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 2022! 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.
