What are the benefits of a Dentistry internship abroad?
There are many benefits to completing a Dentistry internship abroad. It’ll help you prepare for the next stage in your education and career, and it’s a great way to develop your own skills and knowledge.
Previous interns have also talked about advantages such as:
- Skills like teamwork, communication, leadership, resilience, organizing, planning, and time management
- Exposure to medical conditions and techniques that you might not encounter back home
- A more in-depth internship experience than you might receive back home
- Developing a global mindset from working and empathizing with people from different cultures and backgrounds
- Confidence from challenging yourself outside of your comfort zone
These benefits will enhance your resume, strengthening your future applications, and will add to your personal development.
What sets Projects Abroad’s Dentistry internships apart?
We have a Global Impact Database to track the positive impact of our projects. It’s secure and anonymous and we use it to identify specific areas of need. The data we record helps us shape aspects of our work, like medical outreaches and health awareness campaigns. We also use it to monitor the progress of individuals, report our results and collect data for research. All this work follows our Management Plans.
Real work with trained professionals
As an intern, you’ll work alongside real healthcare professionals. You can observe them in their everyday work, ask questions and hear more about their experiences. You’re likely to get greater exposure to the frontline of medical care than in your home country.
A tailored approach
We are often able to tailor your internship to suit your interests. You can work in more than one department or focus on one particular area, and experience outreach work in the local community.

Our Medicine & Healthcare policy
We take the safety of our volunteers, interns, and the people they work with very seriously. That’s why we’ve put in place a comprehensive Medical Ethics Policy.
