Help - 6 Days

The Help component of our program offers pre-dent students the unique opportunity to make a positive impact in a community in need. Students will work alongside local families in different projects such as the construction and improvement of homes or schools and creating wonderful experiences for the children and families. This year’s project is a summer camp for children where students will organize different activities that normally the children never have experienced before because of their living conditions and limited opportunities.

 

Learn - 7 Days

The Learn component of the program is tailored specifically to meet the needs of pre-dental students. This component offers students the unique opportunity to shadow dentists in various dental clinics and gain hands-on experience in different specialties such as orthodontics, endodontics, oral surgery, and more. Students will have the chance to observe and learn from top dentists and gain a comprehensive understanding of the field. Additionally, they will learn about the healthcare systems and cultures in Ecuador, gaining a unique perspective on global dentistry.
