The applicants must have a diploma in dentistry issued either in Argentina or any Mercosur country in order to treat patients during the program. However, the university may open the possibility of research or educational projects that could allow the participant to perform clinical treatments under local insurance policies.
Such feature is to be confirmed in 2026.

At the department: The scholar can attend dental school and post graduate courses in comprehensive restorative dentistry and implantology. Clinical procedures will begin on the second trimester onwards.
At the clinic: The scholar will actively participate on the daily workings of a private clinic. Such participation includes assisting in surgical and prosthodontic procedures in implant treatments or interdisciplinary rehabilitations, performing lab procedures (printing, milling and ceramic staining) over tooth and implant restorations, etc.
Research is mandatory: In both venues, the scholar will work on several projects and manuscripts to be published in peer-reviewed international journals.

Completed postgraduate training by the start of the scholarship year is a must.

The scholar will take part in several projects throughout the year. They will work with mentors, co-authors and peers to start new projects or join ongoing projects. These projects will include reviews and new proposals, in vitro research and clinical research, among others.
It is advised that the participant should present up to three research projects at the beginning of the program, in order to stablish the methodology with which they will perform the majority of such projects.

Spanish is mandatory, since university courses, patients and personnel are mostly solely Spanish speakers.
An advanced level of English is also mandatory, since research and manuscripts for international journals will be published in English.

In addition to the university and clinic activities, the scholar will be involved in ITI activities such as Study Clubs meetings, Educational days, YITI projects, etc.

We strongly advise you to consider cost of living (housing/rent, food, transportation, etc.) in the city of this ITI Scholarship Center, as certain destinations can be very expensive. It is essential to understand that the ITI scholarship stipend does not cover all living expenses but contributes to those. Therefore, make sure you are fully aware of the cost of living in the city of this Scholarship Center if you consider applying for it. You must be prepared to co-finance the cost of living out of your own pocket. The ITI cannot provide additional funding during the scholarship year.
