academic preparation, leadership skills, and mentoring
Comprehensive academic training programs designed to prepare you to enter dental, medical, or allied health training programs at partner universities in Fiji. We use problem-based learning involving the discussion of real patient scenarios to make your studies engaging and prepare you for the rigours of professional school.
dental assistant training, certification, and career progression
Because we know you aren’t going to be just a dentist or doctor, but a healthcare leader, we provide tailored leadership development programs to cultivate the skills and qualities necessary for effective healthcare leadership. At the same time, we provide wrap-around support services, such as study skills development, to support you in becoming a successful learner.
human resources for health empowerment
Provision of continuing professional development to oral health and other providers across Micronesia through partner universities and hospitals in Taiwan, along with the provision of direct dental care during on-site visits, and teledental consultancy for difficult cases by specialists such as oral surgeons, endodontists, and more. And finally, working with local jurisdictions to identify and remediate critical human resources for health shortages.
our core values
At the Dentists and Doctors for Tomorrow program, we are committed to nurturing the next generation of healthcare professionals and leaders for Micronesia. Our core values of excellence, innovations, and community drive us to provide top-notch dental and medical training, leadership development, and research opportunities. We believe in equipping our students with the skills and knowledge necessary to make a meaningful impact on the healthcare landscape of tomorrow. At the same time, we strive to enhance the existing healthcare workforce of the region through continuing professional development, as well as the identification, recruitment, and retention of healthcare providers from Micronesia and for Micronesia.
what do our graduates say?
Thanks to the DDFT program I received the skills and knowledge I needed to become a doctor. The program prepared me to be successful at the University of Fiji School of Medicine. I am now practicing in Micronesia, and preparing to further my studies by becoming a general surgeon.

Because of the DDFT program I am now on my way to a PhD in psychology from a major university in Missouri. The program prepared me to finish my bachelor degree on the mainland, and to be successful in entering a competitive doctoral program. Thanks, DDFT!

I am preparing to graduate from the University of Fiji as a physician in 2025. I could never have accomplished this goal had it not been for the DDFT program. The problem-based learning was excellent, and so were the clinical rotations. They gave me everything I needed to succeed.
