Expanding Global Academic Engagement: Faculty of Dentistry Hasanuddin University Participate in AVEP 2025 at Chulalongkorn University
Students of the Faculty of Dentistry (FKG), Hasanuddin University (UNHAS), continue to demonstrate their commitment to academic excellence and global engagement through their participation in the Academic Visit and Exchange Program (AVEP) 2025. This international academic exchange program was organized by the Faculty of Dentistry, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand, and held from 11–16 December 2025 in Bangkok, Thailand.
Carrying the theme “Emergency Dentistry,” AVEP 2025 highlights the importance of preparedness, clinical competence, and the integration of advanced dental technologies in the management of dental and oral emergencies. The program reflects the growing demand for future dentists who are not only clinically skilled but also capable of utilizing modern technology to support accurate diagnosis, efficient treatment planning, and rapid emergency response.
The delegates from FKG UNHAS, Naurah Athirah and Niu Xinyue, were given the opportunity to engage in a wide range of academic activities, including thematic lectures, group discussions, clinical visits, and hands-on workshops. Key topics such as Medical Emergencies in Dental Practice and Forensic Odontology were complemented by exposure to advanced clinical facilities and state-of-the-art technologies, including modern diagnostic tools and contemporary approaches to emergency dental care.
Beyond academic activities, AVEP 2025 also served as a platform for cross-cultural exchange and international networking. Participants took part in cultural visits and a one-day trip featuring destinations such as the National Museum and Wat Pho, as well as traditional Thai workshops, including Look Choop and Pa Mud Yorn. These activities were designed to enhance cultural understanding, global perspectives, and professional connections among dental students from diverse backgrounds.
Through AVEP 2025, participants are expected to strengthen their clinical competence, broaden their global outlook, and develop an appreciation for the role of advanced technology in modern and emergency dentistry. Ultimately, the program aims to prepare future dentists who are responsive, technologically informed, and globally minded, with a strong commitment to improving the quality of emergency dental care worldwide.
