Are you a dentistry student with a passion for global health? Work the World provides you with the opportunity to undertake safe, structured and tailored short-term placements in Africa, Asia or South America.

 

Working in the developing world will help you grow both personally and professionally as you learn firsthand the challenges faced by local dentists, managing under resourced clinics that lack modern equipment. Often this is combined with advanced pathologies and high patient loads. 

 

Australian student, David Li travelled to Iloilo in The Philippines in 2016.

 

“For me, it really hit quite hard getting to grips with just how different the standards were from back home. Of course it was never going to be the same but the gulf was so much more dramatic than I originally imagined. In a way I suppose this gave me a sense of accomplishment in thinking that I was making some sort of contribution to a bigger task.”
