Dental Chat - View Single Post - what does the career of dentistry offer me?

Hullo all,
I am thinking about working in a rural community (preferably an aboriginal community) when I graduate, but at the same time, don’t wish to be far from my family for long periods of time.
Ideally, I would like to work in a rural community every 4 months per year, and spend the remaining 8 months working in my home town, but is that unrealistic? Would people only prefer dentists / oral hygienists who work full term and permanently in one area, and not periodically?
