Euromed Faculty of Dental Medicine and AMPBD: Meeting for the benefit of Dental Medicine students

The Euromed Faculty of Dental Medicine (FEMD), an institution of the Euromed University of Fes, and the Moroccan Association for Oral and Dental Prevention (AMPBD) met with Dental Medicine students for an initial awareness session on Friday, September 15, 2024.

As part of integration week activities, the Euromed Faculty of Dental Medicine hosted, on Friday, September 15, 2024, the Moroccan Association for Oral and Dental Prevention (AMPBD) on the UEMF Eco-campus. This meeting allowed new faculty students to learn about good practices related to oral health as well as effective prevention measures. The event was also an opportunity to introduce our future physicians to the importance of their involvement in associative work.

During this meeting, a detailed presentation of AMPBD's actions was unveiled, highlighting promising initiatives such as prevention campaigns, dental caravans, awareness campaigns, educational programs, as well as targeted actions in schools and institutions in the city of Fes in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Social Protection.

Then, two enriching workshops were organized during this event with the participation of AMPBD doctors from the Fes, Larache and Berkane sections. The first workshop addressed oral health as a whole, emphasizing the importance of regular care and preventive measures to maintain long-term health. The second workshop focused on different toothbrushing methods, underlining the importance of good oral hygiene for individual health.

At the end of this meeting, the Euromed Faculty of Dental Medicine and the Moroccan Association for Oral and Dental Prevention (AMPBD) signed a strategic partnership agreement. This Agreement aims to establish a lasting partnership between AMPBD and the EUROMED Faculty of Dental Medicine in all scientific, social and solidarity activities, promoting the joint contribution of both parties to continuing education and enabling students to join associative work and participate in the various AMPBD activities.

The signing ceremony was marked by eloquent speeches, notably those of Prof. Salim Bounou, Vice-President in charge of Research-Innovation and Partnership, Prof. Chakib Nejjari, Vice-President in charge of the Health Pole, Prof. Amal Ouazzani Chahdi, Dean of the Faculty of Dental Medicine and Dr. Rabi, President of AMPBD, who expressed their enthusiasm about this fruitful collaboration.
