The EDE track

As participants in the EDE track, dentists complete their preparations for work in the Netherlands over the course of several months. Starting off with the selection of suitable dentists in Spain, the track continues with an intensive language course and civic integration course at the Wetterstein Academy in Seefeld, Austria. The third part of the EDE track takes place in the Netherlands. This initially involves an internship, and finally a job at a dental practice. EDE’s project coordinators not only function as your point of contact, but also as counsellors for both dentists and dental practices throughout the process.
