Our Dental Internship Program in India is conducted at a private dental clinic in Cochin, Kerala, and is supervised by a highly experienced team of dentists. This program is ideally suited for dentistry students who already have some understanding of dental terminology and are eager to gain international exposure. Under the direct mentorship of the clinic’s lead dentist and his team, students will observe both general and cosmetic dental practices, gaining valuable insights into how dentistry is practiced in India.
To ensure quality learning, we place no more than two to four students in the clinic at any given time. This smaller group size allows the supervising dentist and staff to dedicate time to teaching, discussing cases, and answering questions in detail. While the internship is primarily observation-based, students are exposed to a wide variety of cases and clinical procedures. For those staying longer, there may also be opportunities to conduct dental workshops in local schools or community programs with women, helping spread awareness about oral health.
Participants can expect to work between five and seven hours a day, Monday to Friday, with specific timings provided by our program coordinators upon arrival. We recommend joining the placement for a minimum of four weeks to gain meaningful exposure across multiple areas of practice.
Weekends are free, giving you the opportunity to relax or travel around Kerala, often referred to as “God’s Own Country.” From the tranquil backwaters and tropical beaches to tea plantations and wildlife reserves, there is plenty to explore locally. For those wishing to travel further afield, our team in India is happy to assist with organizing weekend trips to other destinations across the country.
