Professor Yeoh Khay Guan, Senior Vice President (Health Affairs) of the National University of Singapore and Chief Executive of the National University Health System, graced the occasion.

Associate Professor Victoria Yu, Vice Dean (Graduate Studies), then congratulated graduates of the programme in her speech before Prof Yeoh presented the diploma scrolls to the graduating class.

“Returning to a school environment after years of being in private practice was refreshing. We were there to learn as students yet could talk to our instructors and professors as peers and colleagues. There were instances when my seemingly silly questions ended up being fruitful and productive discussions,” shared Dr Kevin Tan, Class of 2022.

“Above all the knowledge gained, the biggest benefit would be the friendships forged and the opportunity to bond with our professors and teaching staff. Teaching is indeed a gift and a calling, and we continue to stand on the shoulders of those who have taught us,” shared Dr Gerald Tan, Class of 2021. GDDI, offered by the Faculty’s Centre for Advanced Dental Education (CADE), is a two-year part-time course for general dental practitioners keen on learning more about dental implantology.
