I am a pre-dental student who just graduated from Wheaton College in IL and am now finishing up my prerequisites at a local communitty college. I am very interested in finding out about opportunties to work in underserved countries and urban areas which do not have access to quality dental care. I got my undergrad in Theology and Third World Studies as well as being Pre-dental. It took five years, but I still got a few prereqs left. So, I'm focusing on gettting into dental school and am working at a local hospital.
Any resources or advice on the opportutnies or resources in this very needy area of dental care would be much appreciated.
I spent six months of last year in Sierra Leone, West Africa as an intern with World Relief, and I saw a lot of need for health care facilities and professionals in developed countries. While I was there, Mercy Ships came into Freetown, and that was pretty sweet. So, anybody out there interested in the same type of stuff or got any info, post away!
