Dental Elective

A dental elective at the Craniofacial Center Nepal in Janakpur offers a rare opportunity to gain first-hand experience within a healthcare system that operates very differently from the NHS. The centre provides care for patients with a wide range of craniofacial and dental conditions, allowing visiting students to observe and contribute to treatment in a resource-limited but clinically dynamic environment. The placement encourages the development of clinical adaptability, problem-solving skills, and an appreciation for multidisciplinary teamwork.

In addition to the professional benefits, the elective presents an exceptional chance to travel to Nepal and experience the cultural richness of Janakpur and the surrounding region. Immersion in local traditions, community life, and patient interactions offers valuable insights into global oral health challenges and the broader determinants of health. This combination of clinical exposure and cultural engagement makes the elective an enriching and transformative experience for any dental trainee seeking to broaden their understanding of international healthcare delivery.
