Work The World – Dental Outreach Projects

At Work the World, we arrange electives and placements for Dental students and newly qualified professionals in Ghana, India, Tanzania and Zanzibar.  Each placement is structured on an individual basis and our programmes are constantly developing and expanding.  We also run specially developed outreach initiatives, which run at set times through the year and follow and routine. These projects provide free hands-on dental care to villages that don't have a dentist. Your team of 6-8 dental elective students will work with an experienced dentist to set up temporary clinics and provide dental care.

One of the major elements of the Work the World programmes is the privately rented house that our students stay in.  As well as ensuring security, it acts as a base from which each placement is managed and that provides all the home comforts.  The in-country teams have developed strong links with the medical communities in all our destinations, and it is a great help to have someone local at hand who has personally arranged each placement and who knows the medical environment.  It is also great to know there will be a home cooked meal, some friendly English-speaking faces and a bit of insider local knowledge when you get home each day.
