    Introduction

    The Annual General Meeting of DENSOC was held on 8 th June 2012 in Dewan

    Kuliah 1 & 2, Faculty of Dentistry UM and was attended by 170 dental students. The

    2011/2012 committee board was disbanded and new committee members for the 2012/2013

    session were elected. The 4 main Excos appointed are as below:-

    President: Goh Seong Ling

    Vice President: Mohd. Ridzuan bin Roslan

    Secretary: Renette Gan Siok Lynn

    Treasurer: Dayana Hatin binti Kasim

    We the new batch of Excos has the intention of making improvements as well as

    improvises on the administration and management of DENSOC.

    We are planning to carry out several new projects that have never been done before

    and at the same time, we would like to improve and enhance the current projects and

    activities.

    At the same time, we would like to observe and assess how DENSOC can play a more

    active role in assisting the faculty in handling the student affairs. On top of that, we would

    like to intensify the apparent learning field of dental students and broaden the horizon of theirexperience throughout their tertiary studies.

    This will be the first time in recent years that DENSOC has laid down a proper

    planning for the upcoming year. We hope that by having this proposal, we can get some

    assistance from the faculty in several essential areas that we have identified. These key areas

    will need the cooperation and advice from the facultys administration in order to be

    accomplished successfully.

    Below is a brief write-up of our plan. Detail procedures will be discussed and

    determined in the very near future.

    1st Dental Joint Orientation Programme

    Aim:To foster the relationship among seniors and juniors

    Objectives:

    i) To strengthen the unity among different racesii) To cultivate respect among seniors and juniorsiii) To share with freshmen of the seniors experience

    Supervising DENSOC Exco:

    Mohd. Ridzuan bin Roslan

    Proposed Date:

    10/09/2012 - 12/09/2012

    Organisation Chart/Person involved:

    Chairman Boon Sin Long

    Deputy-chairman Mohd. Ridzuan bin Roslan

    Others (yet to be decided)

    Procedure/Details:

    Orientation programme in Faculty of Dentistry, University Malaya has long been established

    where every student is encouraged to participate. The faculty orientation programme will initiate

    once the freshmen begin their first day of academic session after Mingguan Haluansiswa

    It has been long known that the conventional orientation is held separately according to

    ethnicities and conducted at different time and places. Juniors of an ethnicity would not recognize

    seniors of another ethnicity and vice versa. One ethnic will stay close to each other and no

    interaction with the others during the orientation period. Such segregation has resulted in severelack of interaction among ethnicities at the beginning of the semester. However in the long run, the

    conventional orientation system does not seem to cause any segregation at all. Instead it provides a

    solid foundation for students of different ethnicities to be brought together. The positive outcome of

    the conventional orientation is well proven especially through the buddy system where juniors can

    receive guidance from the seniors in an unofficial or official way. Such mentoring relationships, in

    our opinion is too taxing and labour intensive to be replaced by any current official faculty

    interventions eg. Mentor-mentee Programme or any foreseeable mentorships programmes.

    The buddy system is especially important to us dental students due to the demanding and

    stressful nature of our curriculum. It is to be made clear that the buddy system cannot and will not

    exist if not because of the conventional orientation system which has well served our faculty for aslong as the undergraduate programme has existed.

    SLGoh/DENSOC/Year Plan 2012-2013/July 2012 8

    Having said so, we do recognise that time has changed and generations have passed, the

    conventional orientation is no longer suitable and in fact obsolete if it is to be held in a conventional

    manner again. Thus, it is DENSOCs position to maintain the conventional orientation with

    modification in conjunction with the proposed 1st Joint Orientation Programme. Thus, the JointOrientation is not a replacement of the conventional orientation but a vital adjunct to complement

    the conventional orientation.

    In order to bridge the gap created by the orientation programme and enhance the

    relationship among dental students, this joint orientation programme is proposed to be held during

    the first three days at the beginning of the new academic session. Every freshman would be brought

    together and introduced to each senior from every year, regardless of their ethnicity background.

    The chairman of the programme would be the main person responsible to co-ordinate with

    the leaders of respective ethnicities. This three day joint orientation programme will be followed by

    the conventional orientation accordingly. It is the uttermost goal to converge all dental studentsespecially the freshmen during the three days period to interact and gain respect from each other.

    Dental Undergraduate Welfare Council

    Aim:To provide a platform for unity of the parties involved in students welfare

    Objectives:

    To allow different parties to synchronise their resources and ways in handling students welfare

    Supervising DENSOC Exco:

    Goh Seong Ling

    Proposed Date:

    1st

    meeting: October 2012

    Persons involved:

    2 MPMUMs

    2 Representatives from DENSOC

    President of PPIUM

    2 Minority Students

    Procedure/Details:

    The welfare of dental students has always been taken care of through many different

    channels namely the UM Undergraduates Representative Council (MPMUM), DENSOC and Islamic

    Dental Society (PPIUM). These different students bodies more often than not act separately when

    certain issues are addressed to them owing to the different jurisdictions that each are bound to.

    However, these parties share the same interest of the students and would like to aid in the

    students welfare. On the other hand, students might raise their matters not only to one body and

    problems arise as to whom shall tackle the issues being raised. We are fortunate that such situation

    has never aroused in recent years, but one cannot take things for granted.

    To solve this problem or any future discrepancies in the responsibilities of each party, Dental

    Undergraduate Welfare Council could act as a mutual platform for these parties to come together

    and resolve issues. The council will consist of 2 representatives from MPMUM, 2 representatives

    from DENSOC appointed by the president, the president of PPIUM and not forgetting 2 people from

    the minorities group namely, an Indian and a Bumiputera.

    The council can assemble and discuss on the matters being raised once in every 2 months.

    Co-ordination can be done and a finalized agreements or solutions can be proposed through the

    meetings.

    Intra-faculty Dialog

    Aim:To set up a direct communication channel between the administration and the students

    Objectives:

    i) To enable students to direct queries to the administrationii) To allow the administration to response directly to the students

    Supervising DENSOC Exco:

    Renette Gan Siok Lynn

    Proposed Date:

    23/02/2013

    Procedure/Details

    Intra-faculty dialog was not something new to the faculty. It has been conducted previously

    but somehow it has been discontinued. It is actually a good communication tool to be used by the

    students to enquire about certain matters from the administration directly and on the other hand,

    the administration could reply to the students directly.

    In order to ensure a smooth, well-conducted dialog, questions raised by the students shall

    be submitted before-hand and filtered to prevent any repetition of questions. Apart from that, this

    would enable the administration to prepare answers for the questions being raised during the dialog.

    If however, students whose question were not selected to be asked during the dialog and still wishes

    to post the question, he will be allowed to do so during an open session during the dialog.

    Through this dialog, we hope that any questions or issues arise can be properly answered

    and conveyed to the students and perhaps suggestions may be given to the faculty pertaining to

    certain issues.

    Mohd. Ridzuan bin Roslan

    Proposed Date:

    Launching Ceremony: 04/01/2013

    Procedure/Details:

    A DENSOC room could serve for many purposes that could aid in the flow of any activities

    being undertaken. Committee members always meet up in indefinite places to discuss or prepare for

    any activities. A room specially being set up for DENSOC would be useful to hold any future meetingsor preparations for certain activities.

    On top of that, the DENSOC room could serve as a recreational centre for dental students.

    Computer, printer, furniture and meeting table can be set up for usage in the room. Subscription to

    daily newspaper will enable students to read in the room as well.

    Rules and regulations on the usage and utilization of the DENSOC room will be set as a

    guideline to all the students. This room will be maintained by the DENSOC committee members itself.

    communication channel with other societies as well. By having an official DENSOC website, any

    complete information on the society can be posted up, along with many interactive channels or links

    pertaining to DENSOC.

    Contacts and details will be provided on the website and everybody can get the latest

    updates on the activities anytime, anywhere. This applies also to other societies that would like to

    Organisation Chart/Person involved:

    Editor

    Procedure/Details:

    To have a good reflection on the achievements that DENSOC has attained, a newsletter can

    be published annually and distributed to the students as well as the members of the faculty perhaps.

    Students can view the list of activities that have been organized by DENSOC throughout the entire

    academic session. In addition to that, facultys events like Scientific Conference, Pre-convocation can

    also be included in the newsletter. Students achievements in national or international competition

    should also be included in the newsletter

    This annual newsletter can be a substitution for a year-end book where students can see for

    themselves the activities that they have participated in and take it as a memorabilia for the year. In

    fact, there would be few segments dedicated to the final year students where individual photos will

    be taken and spaces will be provided for them to pen down their thoughts and wishes.

    Exchange Programme

    Aim:To broaden the students knowledge, experience and mind-set

    Objectives:

    i) To introduce the students to other dental schools and expose themselves to differentsystems

    ii) To foster the relationship between UM dental faculty and other dental schoolsiii) To enable students to learn about different cultures of other countriesSupervising DENSOC Officer:

    Goh Seong Ling

    Person involved:

    International Liaison Officer and Assistant International Liaison Officer

    Resource needed:

    Funding from the faculty

    Procedure/Details:

    The exchange programmes that the faculty has been involved in include the Inbound-

    Outbound programme, IADS exchange programmes, IADS research exchange programme and APDSA

    exchange programme. The inbound-outbound programme is managed and conducted by the

    administration office itself while the IADS and APDSA exchange programmes are under the

    management of DENSOC itself.

    For the upcoming exchange programmes, it would be great if there could be an

    establishment of bilateral agreements between DENSOC and the involved universities through IADS.

    This agreement includes the payment of the expenses by the corresponding universities. For an

    example, DENSOC would cover the expenses in accommodation of the exchanged students to UM

    and vice-versa. In this way, it would be an advantage for UM students as the expenses in overseasare expensive.

    Merit System

    To ensure there is fair and proper selection of students to enjoy the benefits of the fund

    provided by the faculty, there would be guidelines and criteria to be met upon in choosing the

    participants of the exchange programmes. Proper guidelines will be ironed out with the following

    criteria taking into consideration, with appropriate weightage given to each.

    Alumni Faculty Mentorship Programme

    Aim:To broaden the knowledge of the preclinical students prior to clinical years

    November 2012: Looking for potential mentor

    February 2013: Finalising list of mentor

    April 2013: Actual Event (20/4/2013 28/04/2013)

    May 2013: Programme review and report from participants

    Procedure/Details:

    Mentor-mentee programme organized by the faculty is a good medium for the students to

    discuss rather anything with the superiors. However, the time limitation that the mentors and

    students faced has obstruct further improvement in certain matter.

    Clinical years are the most important periods in a dental students life. Prior to entering the

    first clinical year at the end of Year 2 and the beginning of Year 3, students normally do not have

    idea on what to be expected or even, how to perform well. It is crucial for them to follow properguideline determined by the lecturers but it would be even better if the students are willing to take

    extra time to learn some skills and get some advice from successful dentist outside.

    Alumni of UM have been known to having above-the-par qualities in clinical skills outside

    and they can serve and give back to the university by helping out the current dental students. The

    Alumni Faculty Mentorship Programme is a tool to allow the dental students being attached to

    alumni in the private practice. Students can learn boundlessly from the alumni provided the alumni

    agreed to participate in this programme. Students would be able to expose themselves to real

    clinical situation also.

    Proposed Date:

    28/12/2012

    Procedure/Details:

    Right until now, there is only one annual gathering of all our dental students. We are hopingthat through such a mass gathering of students, it can increase their participation in DENSOCs

    activities and matters that are of great interest to them.

    The main purpose of the Mid-Year Meeting is to have discussion of the constitution that is to

    be drafted and seek their approval on it. The constitution would then serve as the foundation and

    basis for the running the society. Also, the newly created website will be launched and showcased to

    the students during that day.

    In conjunction with the Mid-Year Meeting, we plan to invite an external speaker from (eg.

    Colgate, Listerine) to give a lecture or talk so that the students will gain something extra by

    attending the Mid-Year Meeting.

    For this upcoming academic session onwards, the Baktisiswa project should have a new

    face-lift where collaborations can be made with the non-governmental organizations such as MERCY

    Malaysia where more activities can be done in a bigger-scale. Besides that, newspaper coverage

    could provide publicities to attract collaborations with other non-profit organizations in the future.

    UM Oral Health Day

    Supervising DENSOC Officer:

    Renette Gan Siok Lynn

    Proposed Date:

    27/10/2012

    Persons involved:

    Year 4 students

    Resource needed:

    Sponsorships

    HEP fund

    Procedure/Details:

    UM Oral Health Day was debuted in October 2011. There was never such an event held in

    the university level and it has attracted many UM students to participate in the oral health

    screenings. The responses towards getting treatments in UM dental faculty were good and these

    have helped the dental students to add the number of patients in the list.

    The Klinik Kesihatan Pelajar has mentioned its interest in collaborating with the dental

    faculty to provide health screenings such as blood pressure check-ups and many others. This could

    extend the horizon of the UM Oral Health Day for better achievements. Apart from that, this UM

    Oral Health Day can be opened to non-UM students and anybody who is interested in getting oral

    health screenings.
