This volunteer work is open throughout the year. You can join from two weeks, but we encourage you to stay longer. The longer you stay, the more you’ll learn.
As a volunteer, you’ll have the opportunity to shadow dentists and work with patients who have a culture different to your own. The skills you’ll learn during this volunteer work are a great addition to your Resume. 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 join. The focus of this volunteer work is on learning, and we’ll teach you everything you need to know. 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.
To give you a better idea of dental practices in a developing country, you’ll spend your time observing dentists at your dentistry placement in Ghana. You’ll assist with patient and equipment preparation, and provide patients with support if they feel they need it. Use this opportunity to ask the dentist questions about the conditions of different patients and how they are being treated.
Our staff will accompany you to show you the way on your first day.
On your first day, your supervisor will be there to show you around. You can expect to work from 8am to 2pm, Monday to Friday. However, you are welcome to stay longer, provided there is a supervisor available. Lunch time is typically at 12pm, but this is not compulsory. You’ll start each day at the hospital by assisting with preparations before they start receiving patients. You’ll then be able to sit in on patient consultations.
Over the weekends, explore more of the beautiful Ghanaian countryside. Hike through one of the many national parks, visit historical museums, or spend the day relaxing on the beach.
All volunteers are expected to be flexible and open-minded and respect Ghanaian culture while in Ghana!
