"Alpha Omega offers dental students the opportunity to conduct two-week externships.  Locations are dependent upon a connection with an alumni chapter.  The exact type of externship varies from city to city, and is completely under the direction of the local alumni chapter NOT International Alpha Omega or the externship chairperson.

For example:
The Los Angeles externship requires the participant to arrange for his or her own accommodations and transportation while in LA. There is a limit of two externs only each year.

¨The London externship offers a program at Guys Hospital to observe student and postgrad training. In addition, private office visits enable the student to observe delivery systems, both "private" and "National Health."

¨Most cities will accept a MAXIMUM of 2 externs. Seattle will accept only 1 extern for 2 weeks, or 2 externs for 1 week each.

¨Externships to other cities may be able to be arranged only if they have a local alumni chapter willing to participate.

¨Preference will be given to those students that joined AO during their first or second year of dental school and are active in their student chapters and meetings."
