Dentistry Internships in Cape Coast

RECRUITING NOW! This internship is an opportunity to gain experience within a dental department of a hospital in Cape Coast and possibly some credits to go towards your degree. Ghanaians have access to dental treatment in most major hospitals. The setup and the working conditions are very different from what you are accustomed to in your home country. The dental department deals with emergencies as well as routine dental appointments. During this internship, you will be exposed to the challenges dentists, as well as patients in need of dental care, encounter in developing countries. The lack of knowledge on preventative dental hygiene might expose you to advanced dental conditions. This is a great experience abroad to help launch your medical dental career. You must either be a professional in the field or a student currently studying related courses to be eligible for this program. If you are planning to study dentistry, you can also apply for this internship, although you must demonstrate a strong commitment to the field.

If you are a student looking for dentistry work experience in Africa, then our Dentistry internship in Ghana is for you. You’ll have the opportunity to shadow dentists and work with patients who have a culture different from your own. The skills you’ll learn during this internship are a great addition to any CV. This can put you a step ahead of the rest in future job interviews. Even if you’re not a dental student but are considering a career in this direction, you are welcome to sign up. The focus of this internship is on learning, and we’ll teach you everything you need to know for outreach work. You’ll also have a supervisor who will be there when you need them. They are there to teach you, guide you, and support you throughout your time in Ghana. This internship is open throughout the year. You can join for as short as two weeks, but we encourage you to stay longer. The longer you stay, the more you’ll learn. As an intern, you’ll shadow dentists and other medical staff at a local hospital/clinic.

Are you looking for a hands-on dentistry experience or a meaningful volunteer opportunity abroad? Do you want to serve rural communities and share your passion and skills in healthcare while exploring Ghana? If you're a professional dentist, dental hygienist, or dental student, St. Miracle Works Educational Foundation (SMWEF) can arrange a rewarding volunteer placement where your expertise is truly needed. SMWEF’s dentistry volunteer program offers you the chance to work directly with local patients while helping underserved communities in places you might never visit otherwise. You’ll support local clinics and hospitals that are often critically understaffed, especially in dental care. Your knowledge and dedication to oral health will make a real difference. With limited access to dental care and oral hygiene education in many areas, your help is vital. We believe everyone deserves access to oral health, and your contribution can bring much-needed relief to growing numbers of patients in need.
