Volunteer Dental Shadowing Position

My experience as a volunteer with INN was nothing short of rewarding. This organization went above and beyond to facilitate my desires to immerse myself in dental procedures and learn ongoing dental activities around the clinic. The INN staff and clinic staff were both wonderful in guiding me around Napoli and helping ensure I had a wonderful experience. I cannot recommend them enough!

Very good experience

During my time volunteering in medicine in Naples I learned a lot with many doctors who are really willing to teach, I really recommend going since you will have the opportunity to meet very good people who are always willing to help.

Grazie mille

I went to Naples to do some voluntary work and to be able to help in something related to medicine as I am studying medicine, but what I didn't know is that Naples was going to be so important for me. Both Ivan and the other doctors I was helping were always super nice and were there whenever I needed them, answering all my questions and making my experience as comfortable and enriching as possible. The other volunteers I was in the flat with were also very nice people who I will always remember. I would definitely recommend this experience that I will always have in my memory. What is clear to me is that once you leave Naples you want to come back.
