Dental students practice skills with guidance from remote provider.

Peer-to-peer training

 Volunteer physicians provide virtual classes, in-clinic discussions, bedside training, or review of recent case studies for local healthcare professionals. This form of peer-to-peer training creates a sustainable model that ensures future care remains within the local communities. 

Example: Conakry, Guinea

Our program enables global dental experts to teach and mentor dental students in Conakry, Guinea. This gives the students an opportunity to apply what they’ve learned in class, and develop it into practical skills. Through hands-on training, the dental students are now fully qualified dentists who can provide quality care to their communities and teach other dental students.
