Picasso Observership Program

Are you a dental student looking for an opportunity to gain real-world experience in a dental clinic? Look no further than Picasso Dental Clinic! Our Picasso Observership Program (POP) provides dental students with the chance to follow our registered dentists and observe them as they work with patients.

Since 2013, we have been accepting 4th and 5th years students from various dental schools in the US, UK and Spain for our POP Program. We understand the importance of hands-on experience in a clinical setting, and we are committed to providing students with an educational and supportive environment.

At Picasso Dental Clinic, we believe that education and experience go hand-in-hand. We know that the classroom can only teach you so much, and that hands-on experience is essential for developing the skills and knowledge you need to become a successful dentist. The POP Program provides students with the opportunity to observe and learn from our experienced team of dentists, as they work with patients to provide a wide range of dental treatments and procedures.

What is Picasso Observership Program?

During your time at our clinic, you will be able to observe a variety of dental procedures, including routine check-ups and cleanings, fillings, root canals, extractions, and more. You will have the chance to see firsthand how our dentists interact with patients, how they diagnose and treat dental problems, and how they ensure that patients feel comfortable and confident throughout the process.

Howeer, our POP isn’t just about observing dental procedures. We also offer opportunities for students to ask questions and engage in discussions with our dentists. This is a chance for you to learn more about the field of dentistry, to gain insights into different dental procedures, and to get advice and guidance from experienced professionals.

At Picasso Dental Clinic, we are committed to providing a welcoming and supportive environment for all students. Our team of dentists and staff is dedicated to helping students learn and grow, and we are excited to welcome students from around the world to join our team. We know that dental school can be challenging, and we believe that our observatory program can help to make the transition from the classroom to the clinic a little bit easier.
