Haitian hospital seeks volunteer dentist

Port-au-Prince, Haiti鈥擲t. Damien Hospital in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, is seeking a long-term volunteer dentist to work in its brand new dental clinic. A one-year commitment is desirable but negotiable.

The new, three-chair clinic serves children and adults, providing preventive procedures, restorations and extractions. Dental staff act as language interpreters and provide chairside assistance. American dentists experienced in providing dental care in Haiti will provide orientation and support.

Volunteers pay their own travel expenses but room, board, Internet and a small stipend are all provided. A new on-site volunteer/guest house provides a safe and comfortable environment.
