UKM Dental Coating Ceremony 2014/2015

Assalamualaikum and hi everyone. 
Dental Coating Ceremony has been held on 27th of October 2014 
in UKM Faculty of Dentistry. 

Coating ceremony is an annual ritual in UKM faculty of denstistry 
that marks the 3rd year students' transition 
from study of preclinical to clinical practice. 
This ceremony adress the issue of dental ethics and 
praise rising students for their success in completing 
the basic coursework of dentistry. 
We also read the Hippocratic Oath on that special day.

The ceremony was started and launched by our respected dean, 

Y.Bhg. Prof. Dato' Dr. Ghazali Mat Nor. 

The speech given was very meaningful. 

We also received news that our dean will retire this coming January. 

We're so sad that he will leave us but we pray for the best to our beloved dean. 

Thank you so much to all the doctors 

who were willing to spend their free time to join us. 

We really appreciate it.

There were also some energetic and cheerful 

performances from 1st year students.

It was really a memorable and unforgetable moment 

when the dean and vice dean themselves put on the 

white coat to 3rd year students. 

Hopefully it injected a whole new spirit to the students 

to really work hard and be the best dentists.

All the 3rd year students read the hippocratic oath. 

It is an oath historically taken by physicians and physician assistants. 

It is one of the most widely known of Greek medical texts. 

It requires a new physician to swear, 

upon a number of healing gods, 

to uphold specific ethical standards.

The dean proudly gave the certificate to 

all the dean's list students. Congratulations!

Before the ceremony ends, 

There were several lucky draws given to the lucky students.

Congratulations to all 3rd year students!
