Are you interested in a career in Public Dentistry?
The Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne, located in the heart of Carlton, offers undergraduates in Dentistry and Oral Health from Universities around Australia and Overseas (limited to UK, Ireland, Canada & New Zealand) the opportunity to experience dentistry in action in a supervised capacity.
The benefits of working in the pubic health sector are varied and we hope to inspire potential graduates to work in community oral health and see the difference they can make to less advantaged groups in our community.
