Work experience is a crucial aspect of a student's journey into dentistry. While observing dental professionals can be valuable, what truly strengthens an application is developing an understanding of how dental teams care for patients, make clinical decisions, communicate effectively, and work together to deliver high-quality treatment.
The latest rotation of our Virtual Dental Work Experience (WEX) programme is now available. This month, students can explore Dental Hygiene, Dentures and Difficult Discussions, gaining valuable insight into patient care, communication challenges, and the wide range of professionals involved in modern dental practice. The dental programme spans four months, allowing students to explore different areas of dentistry and gain meaningful experience that can support their future applications.
