The UBC Sinclair Travel Fellowship Program provides a unique opportunity for global community service, enhanced experiential education and collaborative learning for UBC Dentistry students.

India
The India location is found in Spiti Valley, a cold mountain valley located high in the Himalayas. In the Spiti Health Program students participate in project planning, research, pre-departure training and post-field analysis and presentations. Each team builds upon the work of previous years with constant input and feedback from our Indian and other NGO partners.
