Internships and Volunteer Work Abroad in Dentistry

Dental Internships Abroad

Volunteer practicing dentistry Interning abroad on one of our dental internships is a fantastic way to gain practical international experience in dentistry. Whether you are hoping to get into dental school, a trained professional looking to gain some dental work experience abroad, or somewhere in between, you will have a role to play in one of the hospitals and clinics we work with. Your dentistry internship abroad is tailored, whenever possible, to both your level of experience your interests.

Intern in Dentistry Abroad

Living in a developing country, you will witness first hand the impact of poverty on dental health. Dentists struggle to convey messages about the very basics of oral hygiene - this lack of education, combined with a lack of financial resources, means that many patients you see will have more advanced cases than you are likely to observe in the western world.

In India, our dental interns work in Dental Clinics in the town of Sivakasi. In Argentina, we have dental internships in a large hospital in Villa Allende, near Cordoba. In Mexico, you can intern abroad in small dental practices. Wherever you go and whatever size establishment you intern with, you will experience something very different from what you are used to in North America; You will come back with fantastic memories of far more than just your dentistry internship.

Dental Internship Abroad

On the first day of your dental internship, you will meet your supervisor with a local Projects Abroad staff member and create a work schedule. It is very important that you stick to your hours or give plenty of advanced notice if you wish to change them because from that moment on you will be part of a team. As with any employee, your supervisor will be eager to know your skills and level of experience, so the work you find yourself doing will be strongly influenced by this.

Of course, a Projects Abroad dental internship is not just about work. Once you finish for the day there are always other volunteers around to meet up with, and our staff will arrange regular social events and even weekend trips for you to join in on.
