When the quality of dental health services is at stake, the competence of dentists becomes paramount. Healthcare professionals are required to possess skilled abilities and provide professional services. In response to this challenge, the Faculty of Dentistry at Universitas Gadjah Mada (FKG UGM) continually strives to ensure that its graduates meet the required competency standards.
Baru-baru ini, mahasiswa Program Profesi Dokter Gigi mengikuti Ujian Akhir di Departemen Ilmu Kedokteran Gigi Masyarakat (IKGM). Ujian ini merupakan bagian penting dari perjalanan akademik mereka sebelum melangkah ke dunia profesional.
drg. Muhammad Fahmi Alfian, M.P.H., one of the instructors at the IKGM Department, explained that this exam assesses the readiness of prospective dentists to provide public health services. “This exam ensures that each graduate possesses strong clinical competencies and is prepared to face real-world challenges. We want them to become reliable healthcare professionals,” said Fahmi (18/9).
Pada hari pertama, mereka menjalani ujian survei dan ujian praktikum. Kemudian hari kedua mahasiswa dihadapkan pada ujian kasus. Mahasiswa yang berhasil mendapat standar nilai minimum, dianggap lulus dan memenuhi kompetensi dasar Departemen IKGM. Kegiatan ini sejalan dengan perwujudan SGDs terutama SDG tujuan ke-3 Kesehatan dan Kesejahteraan yang Baik dan SDG tujuan ke-4 Pendidikan Berkualitas.
