Dentistry Work Experience Abroad

Sink your teeth into the adventure of a lifetime with Gap Medics.

If you are dreaming of a career in dentistry then we have the perfect opportunity for you. Shadow dentists in their day-to-day clinical procedures, take part in specialised global health tutorials and discover what being a dentist is really like in Africa, the Caribbean, Poland, Croatia and Thailand. You'll be assigned a dentist as your personal medical mentor. Handpicked and trained by us, they are dedicated to providing you with invaluable shadowing experience. Your placement will be tailored to suit your interests and give you maximum exposure to specialised dentistry procedures and treatments.

Taking part in a Gap Medics work experience programme will give you an impressive edge when applying to university or taking the next step in your career. Drawing on our experience of placing thousands of students in healthcare settings since 2005, we provide comprehensive support to each of our students, ensuring your time abroad is safe, educational and enjoyable.

The core of any Gap Medics placement is the opportunity to shadow health care professionals on the front line of patient care. You will spend each week in a different department, mentored by a expert in that particular field.

You will spend at least 23 hours per week shadowing dentists and observing procedures each day. On top of this there will be opportunities to attend departmental meetings to discuss patients' progress.

Ensuring that you have a worthwhile and enjoyable experience is our top priority. To make sure you get this, we provide accommodation in our own private houses, complete with in-house catering, tropical gardens, large social areas and friendly supportive staff.
