•Formal partnership with IADS and HealthCare Volunteer to
attract dental students and
member dentists to volunteer in dental shortage locations around the world.
•Deploy dentists for long-term (6 months – 1 year) into
volunteering locations and
have dental students rotate 1-4 weeks through clinics under the supervision of these deployed dentists.
•Direct volunteering with government clinics in cases of
long-term volunteering and direct
involvement with Ministry of Health to maximize value for patients.
•Room/board/transportation funding: depends on dental
status and amount of time willing to
volunteer; longer terms and dentists are more likely to receive room/board/transportation when
volunteering in government
clinics, while shorter terms and dental students are less likely to receive room/board/transportation when
volunteering. For dental
students, grants, fellowships, scholarships will be of use for funding as will inexpensive arrangements that our
organization sets up
around each volunteering location.
