Dentistry Electives in Africa
At East Africa Dental Electives, we create meaningful opportunities for dental students and practitioners to gain international experience through internships and volunteer placements in Kenya and Tanzania. Our programme is designed to align with your clinical objectives while giving you hands-on exposure to dentistry in a unique and resource-limited setting.
We recognize the challenges faced in East Africa, where access to quality oral health care is limited due to a high dentist-to-patient ratio and scarce resources. By joining our programmes, you’ll learn to adapt, innovate, and practice in conditions very different from those in your home country preparing you to become a more versatile and resourceful dentist.
