Pitt DSD Mission Trip to the Dominican Republic 2017



H's Message

Hello!

I am on the brink of completing my third year of dental school at the University of Pittsburgh. In order to gain more dental experience and to bring dental care to those who lack access in the Dominican Republic, I will be embarking on a week long mission trip. If you are interested in donating to help fund my trip it would be much appreciated! Regardless, I hope you follow along with photos and posts from my upcoming dental adventure this May!

Volunteer Activity Description

During our semester break from April 29 to May 7th, we will be joining Bright Island Outreach in the Dominican Republic to provide dental care to the community.

Here is a short video documenting our trip last year

The Bright Island Outreach mission is to provide free dental care to the people of the Caribbean and Central America. Dental professionals and students, and non-dental volunteers deliver treatment, education, and preventive care in remote settings to children and adults with limited access to services. Students treat patients under the direct supervision of dentists and hygienists, who are asked to participate primarily as clinical mentors and educators. With a vision to transform lives and communities, B.I.O. provides opportunities for volunteerism, breaking down barriers to inter-professional collaboration among communities of healthcare professionals in the countries we serve.

Join us in our cause and help us through your donations. Your every donation, be it small or large, will us help greatly and is dearly appreciated.

For further details, do not hesitate to contact us.
