  • About
    The Ohio State University chapter of Volunteers Around the World (VAW) consists of students that are enthusiastic and committed about addressing the health disparities that currently exists in developing countries. Through close collaboration with the Non-Governmental Organization, Volunteers Around the World, our club at OSU strives towards providing rural communities in developing countries access towards dental treatment and oral hygiene, nutritional and health education. If you're interested in global dentistry and want to be part of one of OSU's most involved clubs on campus, then become a member and check out our website for more information or come to one of our info sessions!

The Ohio State University Dental Internship to Peru, July/August 2022

Volunteer Activity Description
Join OSU 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 The Ohio State 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 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 April 11th-24th.
