What recent interns said about their experience
My dental internship in Africa was truly life-changing. I had the opportunity to assist in clinics, gain hands-on experience, and learn from passionate local professionals. The program I went with was incredibly well-organized and supportive—they made sure we were safe, prepared, and placed in meaningful roles. Not only did I grow professionally, but I also formed lasting connections and gained a deeper appreciation for global healthcare. I’m so grateful for the experience and would highly recommend this program to anyone interested in dentistry and service abroad.
My internship has broadened my perspective and skill set, preparing me for a future where I can make a meaningful impact. Observing the rehabilitative approach of these facilities has deepened my understanding of how different legal systems can better serve communities, which is crucial for my aspiration to improve access to legal aid and promote human rights. Ultimately, this internship has solidified my ambition to work internationally. I hope in the future I can contribute to promoting equality, and defending people’s rights. This role has not only prepared me for the immediate next steps in my career, but has also reinforced my commitment to a lifelong pursuit of justice and human rights on a global scale.
I have so many amazing memories from my internship but what stands out most were the people. I loved spending time with everyone I met! I was treated like family, and I feel like I have a home in Tanzania. Having this exposure will go a long way in helping me with cultural competence, awareness skills, communication skills and test my knowledge of healthcare so far. As I am early on in my degree, this internship in Tanzania was an incredible experience to help motivate me to create healthcare change in Australia and the world.
I enjoyed learning about the cultural differences and customs of Tanzania as well as within their healthcare system. It was interesting to see the disadvantages they have and see how they systematically go about things with certain setbacks. It was an eye-opening experience and has truly taught me to be culturally aware and flexible!
