VAW GLOBAL HEALTH ALLIANCES

VAW at Texas, Veterinary Outreach

About
The Texas chapter of VAW Global Health Alliances (VAW Global) is made up of students who are enthusiastic and committed to addressing the health disparities that currently exist in developing countries. Through close collaboration with VAW Global, our club at the Texas Chapter strives to provide rural communities in developing countries with access to veterinary treatment, medication, and nutritional and health education.

If you're interested in global veterinary medicine and want to be part of one of Texas’s most engaged clubs on campus, become a member and check out our website for more information, or attend one of our info sessions!

Texas Veterinary Internship to Peru, Jun 2025

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the Texas 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, 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 Texas 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 make 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.
