About Program
Are you looking for a dental internship to further enhance your skills or a dental elective as a requirement for your studies? Elective Africa offers customized programs that allow you to experience dental care under mentorship and supervision in a unique environment. Interns must be pre-med or medical student, while volunteers must be medical professionals.
With our Dental Internships, participants are placed in the department to engage in relevant activities together with a team of professionals in Africa. Through shadowing and supervised hands-on experience, they’re able to gain a deeper understanding of dentistry practice in a unique health system.
The health system in a developing country is characterized by inadequate resources in human capital, vaccines and technology. These enable volunteers/interns to gain exposure in a dental practice with minimal resources but addressing the needs of a large population.
