Students Collaborating Online to Network and Empower
Staff and students from the four universities connect online during this pandemic since physical overseas student exchanges have been challenging to facilitate. Dental students in Australia, Singapore, UK and USA share experiences and discuss universal oral health related issues to facilitate an exchange of perspectives amongst themselves.
