Mystical and, at the least, intriguing, Iquitos attracts the eyes of everyone who knows it more closely. With a population of 400,000 people, the city draws attention for being quite rustic and for being a constant invitation to adventurers on duty. It’s impossible not to surrender to the transformations of scenarios so conflicting with each other. In order to reach the capital of the Peruvian Amazon, you will see rivers, a tropical forest and, suddenly, a maze of sometimes bumpy streets. The region is a port and has access only by water or air. Being a little more isolated, Iquitos has simpler communities, which live along the river, and need greater contact with other cultures and customs. It is certainly a very good place to teach and learn new habits and lifestyles.

Dental Internship - Iquitos, Peru
ABOUT IQUITOS, PERU
PROJECT DETAILS
This program is perfect for dentists and Pre-dental students. You will volunteer in medical centers located in poverty-stricken areas in Peru to be a benefit to low-income families. The medical centers are not well equipped and most of the time the dental staff is not enough to satisfy the demand of patients. The dental internship is particularly suitable for students in their last years of studies who want to gain valuable clinical experience.
Each intern needs to bring medical gloves, shoes, first aid kit, periodontology kits, conservation kits, 3. 50 dental needle-different sizes, white medical jacket and Scrubs (to wear daily), alcohol wipes, gauze, medical cotton, dental composite resins (white filling). Interns participating in this project need to bring their own materials to develop dental cures and prophylaxis (it is mandatory). The public medical centers are under budget and will not allow you to use these products/materials to develop the free dental campaign in which volunteers are busy 100% of their time; if not they are just observing and for students in their last years it is not approved.
