A new partnership among Operation Smile, the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, and the University of Rwanda School of Dentistry will link these three organizations to provide training and support for oral health in Rwanda over the next three years.

The partnership will offer opportunities for faculty and student mentorship, education, and research, with exchanges enabling UMSOD and Rwandan faculty and students to learn from one another. Faculty and student exchanges between the two universities are slated each year.
