Spanish term

estudiante de odontología de término

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Dentistry
The speaker is from Colombia. They are a dental student with a scholarship.

Would 'final year dental student' be the correct translation?

Thank you very much

final year dentistry student

Hi Alex,
Yes, correct, except I would go with "dentistry" instead of "dental".
Cheers!

This has been asked before, but "senior" I feel would not work well here because I assume you want to put this in British English and this word is used mostly in US English. The term you propose would work for any English variant.

On another note, I would probably hyphenate "final year"= final-year dentistry student.
