Activities will include but are not limited to assessing both community and patient needs and providing services based on the needs assessment and community goals. Students will work with UK approved organizations and under the direct supervision of a College of Dentistry faculty while in-country. 1-3 credit hours; repeatable for up to 3 credit hours; allows multiple bookings per semester.
