This paper describes a rural internship experience developed between 1998 and 1993 by the School of Dentistry, Rio de Janeiro State University. The objective of this program was to raise the social consciousness of undergraduate students. Extramural activities were carried out in the form of supervised 3-month internships in the dentistry services offered by public health units at several locations in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Besides working in the clinics, students took part in activities aimed at assessing oral health in the community, organizational and programmatic structures of the health services, and priorities, appropriate technology, education, and prevention in oral health. These internships integrated the critical thinking of professors, students, class associations, and service-providing institutions regarding the adequacy of education received by future dentists in addressing the true situation of oral health in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
本文介绍了里约热内卢州立大学牙科学院于1993年至1998年期间开展的一次农村实习经历。该项目的目标是提高本科生的社会意识。校外活动以在里约热内卢州多个地点的公共卫生单位提供的牙科服务中进行为期3个月的实习形式开展，实习由专人指导。除了在诊所工作外，学生们还参与了旨在评估社区口腔健康、卫生服务的组织和规划结构，以及口腔健康方面的优先事项、适当技术、教育和预防等活动。这些实习整合了教授、学生、班级协会和服务提供机构对于未来牙医所接受的教育在应对里约热内卢州口腔健康实际状况方面是否充分的批判性思考。
