There was a joint meeting of AMEE/ADEE which was held on 27th Aug. The focus was on the role of dentist on oral manifestations of systemic diseases.
More emphasis on problem-based learning for future dentists on common health problems.
There was a session on PhD report which gave the PhD students opportunity to present the whole work and get feedback from experts in the field which was very interesting. |
