Travel to work in the Rural Areas
Opportunities for post-graduate training in
Dentistry have previously been limited to living
and working in a city with close links to a
Dental School. The Scottish Postgraduate Rural
Training Fellowship provides the chance to live
and work in the rural areas of Scotland, with the
quality of life and the access to leisure
pursuits which the areas offers and have access
to the type of post-graduate training you have
always wanted.
