Guest Guyver03 Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 Just curious, is there any international exchange for dental student in their 3rd or 4th year? I mean kinda like a summer clinical practice in another country. Which school has this kind of program? It would be interesting for students to see how different parts of the world practice dentistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LestatZinnie Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 from my knowledge there is no exchange for dentistry, at least not at mcgill. In medicine you can do your clerkship or rotation (watever its called) in some other countries but i think dentistry operates a little differently. However I think some US schools have externship programs in the summer, but I'm not sure if Canadian schools have similar programs. Let us know if you find out.

Guest Guyver03 Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 Well, I found this interesting article from UBC's website www.dentistry.ubc.ca/alum...02/p10.stm It looks like that 3rd year student did an exchange program with a Japan university, and worked in their clinics. International exchange doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere on their website, anyone from UBC can confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest quebecboy Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 Laval has a program allowing you to do a summer in Paraguay helping people (especially) kids over there with their dental health (no toothbrushes and lost of sugar cane mean lots of work ). Although it isn't a student exchange program, it is credited by Laval. I believe there is also an exchange with a few universities in France for students beginning their 4th year.

Guest Kicoati Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 In their calendar, UofT mentioned that 3rd year students can participate summer exchange in Australia, Holland, Israel or Sweden for 2-4 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
