title: College students practice dentistry in third-world countries.
abstract: Increasingly, applicants to dental schools are reporting experiences providing dental care on third-world mission trips. Perhaps they do not know that this behavior is unethical and illegal, but those directing and sponsoring these programs could not so easily claim to be unaware that what they are doing is wrong. Policy statements and informational campaigns by professional organizations may help curb this abuse.
