Internships in Cape Coast, Ghana

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.

Grab this opportunity to further develop your skills through the Nursing and Midwifery internships of Projects Abroad. Your placement will depend largely on your experience or amount of training. Nursing internships are available in Accra, at Danquah Circle - a large Police hospital in a local neighborhood. Midwifery internships will be at the Sakumono Community Hospital, a small local hospital specializing in surgical and maternity care. In Cape Coast, the Central Regional Hospital has positions available for nursing and midwifery interns. It is one of the most modern hospitals in Ghana with a wide range of departments and lots of new equipment. If you don’t have medical experience, you will be placed in Dodowa to ensure you receive instruction and supervision through observation. If you are a professional with considerable experience, you will be placed in Cape Coast and assist with treatments. If you don’t have full qualifications but have experience, you can work at either locations.

Immerse yourself in a beautiful Ghanaian city while learning about the countrys approach to providing healthcare services to its citizens. Program participants will gain a global perspective on the overall Ghanaian healthcare system delivery services, various socioeconomic factors, and the structural and financial healthcare challenges medical professionals deal with. They will be able to address public health topics like family planning, adoption, teen pregnancy, sex education, and endemic tropical diseases. They will gain an understanding of how some of the issues are viewed culturally in this day and age. Participants will rotate in various departments at the hospital, and will work alongside medical professionals, medical students, and specialists. They will also explore community health centers connected to the hospital.

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.
