The demographics and social factors related to senior citizens in modern society make participating in this Clinical Internship an extraordinary asset for recent dentistry graduates committed to working with this under-attended population group and interested specialising in the growing and ever-important field of gerodontology.
In light of the general lack of formal training in this field, the magnitude of the problem and the social framework that treats special patients on the basis of their medical records, associated treatments and personal disability situations, the Clinical Internship in Gerodontology has been designed to prepare professionals to efficiently manage general dental care for geriatric patients.
