Health Team to Panama Seeks Dentist

An UMVIM Health Services Team that is returning to Panama for the fifth year, is looking for a Dentist to join the group. Someone who has previous experience working in temporary settings in developing countries would be a plus.

The team departs from Chicago on Friday, February 26, 2010 and will return on either March 6th or 7th. Approximate cost for travel, lodging and food is $1500. The dental clinic will set up in a concrete block community center that has electricity. Potable water is brought in. There is an autoclave in questionable working order. All dental equipment needed for restorations and extractions will need to be brought in by the team.
