Is a Dentistry internship in India Right for Me?
Our Dentistry internship in India is for students serious about pursuing a career in oral health. This experience looks great on your CV, which will make it easier to stand out when applying for jobs in the field of dentistry.
To join this internship, you need to be a dental student already or have some relevant knowledge of the field. If you’re looking for extra dentistry work experience, then this placement is for you. You’ll be carefully guided by a leading dentist, so this is an opportunity to learn and build dentistry skills from a professional in the field.
Most importantly, however, a dentistry placement in India is a chance to make a real difference in the local community. You should be passionate about improving health levels in society and use this to motivate you to learn and grow in your dentistry career.
Your Dentistry internship runs all year round for a minimum of two weeks. We do recommend staying for as long as you can though, as this will give you the opportunity to learn more and have the greatest impact on the local community.
What will I do on a Dentistry internship in India?
Your Dentistry internship in India will be mostly observation-based, giving you a fantastic opportunity to build your skills, knowledge, and experience. Your main activities will include:
Receive mentorship from renowned dental professionals
You’ll be working in local dental practice, a clinic well known for adult orthodontics and clear aligner therapy. We’ve ensured that you are placed in a high-quality private surgery, so you have access to the best dental professionals.
The staff in this dental surgery have a track record of doing great work. Beyond this, they’re brilliant teachers. They’ll carefully monitor you and will always be available to answer your questions. This dentistry work experience in India is immersive, allowing you to closely observe dental procedures.
Observe a wide range of dental procedures first-hand
During your Dentistry internship in India, you’ll see all sorts of procedures take place. Whether these are health-related or purely cosmetic, be prepared to gain new insights into the world of dentistry.
You’ll be in the room for any procedures that you’ll find valuable. Much of your work will be observational, but this will teach you so much more than any textbook can.
Learn about the culture and health system of India
You’ll also become more familiar with the health system of India. You’ll learn what obstacles people face and how the work of dental professionals can improve oral health.
In your downtime, you’ll also explore the local area. We’ll offer advice for day trips to ensure you get the best experience possible, but you’ll be free to plan your own activities. This cultural immersion is positive for personal growth, building your confidence and understanding of another culture. Not to mention the fun and relaxing side of travel to India!
Where will my Dentistry internship take place?
Kochi
Your Dentistry internship is located in Kochi, Kerala. It’s a sprawling, residential city located along the Southwestern coast of India. You’ll live in a house with other volunteers, just a 40-minute commute from where your internship work is carried out.
The dental clinic was selected because it’s a private dental practice with a strong reputation. Being private means:
- A greater volume of highly skilled dental practitioners
- A growing number of patients
- Access to higher quality equipment
- A wider range of more specialised procedures
On your days off, Kochi is known for its waterfront promenade, museums, and local heritage through art and antiques. Shops along Broadway sell fabrics, crafts, and spices, while modern Lulu Mall also has a cinema and an ice rink. Delicious eateries serve Keralan specialities and South Indian seafood, such as fish curry, biryani or dal.
What does a typical day look like?
You’ll wake up in your volunteer accommodation, instantly immersed in Indian culture. Start with a hearty homemade breakfast to prepare you for a busy day ahead. On the first day, our staff will show you how to get to the dental clinic to begin your work. After that, you’ll be able to make the commute yourself.
Each day will be different, but you’ll spend them observing dental procedures, whether that involves an implant, extraction, or fixing braces. You’ll be with the dental surgeon, patient, and no more than one other volunteer. This means that you’ll be able to closely observe dental work without distraction.
You can eat your lunch on-site before heading to your lesson for the day. This could be on oral rehabilitation or aesthetic dentistry, but whatever the topic, you’ll gain a comprehensive insight to help with your medical studies.
Travel back home for a local fish curry dinner, then head out to Marine Drive for some well-earned relaxation before you do it all again tomorrow.
