so is Penn the only school that has a study abroad (or i guess rotation abroad) program? been searching schools websites, the forums, and everything else, and can't really find an answer.
Not sure about STUDY abroad, but Stony Brook has community service thing abroad where they go to Madagascar...UCLA has something in JAPAN....UCSF DOES NOT HAVE ANY ...because of red tape issues..that was a student complaint....Great question though!

Many schools have these types of opportunities - going to an underserved part of the world to mainly pull teeth and do some charity dentistry for a few days. Penn is probably one of the few that markets the opportunity as "unique." And remember, you have to pay extra for this rotation.
My dental school didn't have anything like this when I began. By my senior year, some resourceful students in my class and a few behind me cut through the red tape, got the legwork going, got some small trips started, Now I hear their efforts have turned into a successful program for students to have an opportunity to do outreach dentistry in other parts of the world.
That would be the result of those resorceful dental students I mentioned in my post. Four years ago there was nothing, and now there are many. Anything is possible, the dental student just has to be motivated.
