Dental students are able to participate in externships during the summer between their third and fourth years. The externship program offers students an opportunity to travel and broaden their horizons, by experiencing dentistry being provided in different environments, either in the U.S.A. or abroad.

Students wanting to participate in an externship must apply for the privilege through the Office of Student Affairs. The student must complete an application stating the time and place for the externship as well as a proposal describing what goals are to be accomplished during the period of study. Letters of recommendation are also required.

Prior to granting the request, the Academic Performance Advancement Committee must review the student's academic status and give final approval. Final approval depends on successful completion of third-year requirements. Upon completion of the externship, each student is required to submit a written report and give a short oral presentation.
