MESSAGE FROM
THE IEO
EMAIL: ieo@iads-web.org
Join the thousands of dental students before you that have experienced the IADS International Clinical Exchange Program. Clinical exchange has always been a major component of our association’s activities. For several decades, officials within the IADS family have been striving to create and maintain a network of member countries that are hosting dental students from around the world. Each year, hundreds of dental students from around 60 IADS member countries are given the life changing opportunity to visit a foreign country and experience dentistry in a whole other way. This year’s clinical exchange program is no less diverse and rich with opportunity than the years before. Indeed, our member
organizations have done an excellent job in preparing engaging incoming exchange programs, guaranteeing an absolutely fantastic cultural and clinical, experience for dental students worldwide. I would like to use this occasion to salute my fellow Exchange Officers for their efforts in helping maintain our student exchange program up and running, and applaud their ever-inspiring engagement to make sure their fellow dental students get to live what can be described as a once-in-alifetime experience. The current term is also a turning point in the history of the IADS International Clinical
Exchange Program (ICEP), for it has seen the adoption of its new Internal Regulations, ensuring a legislative structure upon which to continue building and growing what has come to be known as the largest and longest running, student-run, dental students exchange program in the world. Not only that, the year 2016 will also be remembered as the year when our association has fully embraced the internet as a means to efficiently coordinate our efforts in handling the application process to our vast network of clerkships. This was achieved by introducing the IADS Exchange Portal - a website that makes it
easy for all dental students we represent to search for, and apply to, clinical internships organized by our member organizations. Needless to say, there is a strong feeling of optimism for what is to come for the IADS International Clinical Exchange Program. As we continue to honour a legacy of more than 50 years of intercontinental dental students’ exchange, I can safely say that the future is bright indeed. Sincerely Yours, OMAR AL BAIRAT INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE OFFICER

“NEW RULES TO ENSURE CONTINUITY” For more that half a century, the IADS International Clinical Exchange Program (ICEP) has given the opportunity to thousands upon thousands of dental students worldwide to wonder out of their comfort zone and experience dentistry in other countries than their own. Indeed, participants in the IADS International Clinical Exchange Program get to visit foreign countries and enroll in clinical clerkships. These internships have been one of the most important activities organized by our member organizations. The continued functioning of a decades long, student-run, exchange program is proof that the structure of the IADS International Clinical Exchange Program has been well thought out from the start. Our IADS Leadership Alumni have, over the years, done a great job in ensurring the management know-how of such a program is properly passed down to the next generations of exchange officers. However, the handover of this know-how has always been mostly verbal and through documents (i.e previous issues of this exchange booklet) that hardly weather the test of time. This was one of the reasons that pushed the current IADS Clinical Exchange Leadership to to make sure the next generations of exchange
officers have a sound structure to follow, which is anchored within the most important document of our association: the IADS Constitution. To be able to make such a change, the February 2016 IADS General Assembly in Bratislava, Slovakia, have approved a constitutional amendment that permitted bodies within the association to have their own Internal Regulations. This new amendment guarantees that each program organized by IADS can have its own “mini-constitution”, containing rules and policies, which must be followed by all parties involved in said program. Thus, the legislative ground was laid for the same General Assembly to adopt the first edition of the IADS International Clinical Exchange Program’s Regulations & Policies - a document that contains new rules to ensure the continuity and growth of our student exchange program. From here on out, the Internal Regulations of the IADS ICEP will serve as the guiding principles for all IADS exchange officers and potential exchange students. You may find the publication copy of these new internal regulations on our website (http://www.iads-web.org) and on our official social network pages.

INTRODUCING THE
IADS EXCHANGE PORTAL
IADS Clinical Exchange: As technology around us is evolving and we start to live in a world that stresses immediacy, where everything we need is more often than not only a few keywords and a push of a button away, we have come to realize that in order to grow and evolve the IADS clinical exchange program to include even more hosting countries and a bigger number of exchangees each season, we need to embrace the technological advances that are available to us. This is why we have endeavored since the beginning of the 2015/2016 IADS term, to develop and prepare the IADS Ex-
change Portal. In brief, it is a website that would make an already functional and effective way of handling the IADS exchange applications, into a streamlined process which guides both students and our member countries’ exchange officer into making sure the exchange experience is the best that can be, by limiting the hassles of paperwork, encouraging transparency and easing access to information about our members’ exchange programs. We are hoping that starting this year, dental students from around the world will be able to login to their IADS Exchange Portal account and easily look
007
To Infinity and Beyond for clinical internships offered by our member countries. They will also have the opportunity to simply follow the guidelines towards applying to any clinical internship that interests them and track their application status. Eventually, the goal is to make the IADS Exchange Portal a central database where all of the different aspects of our exchange programs are handled: from contract signing between our member officials, to students applying, going into exchange and reporting back on their experience. Ultimately, our goal is to make it easier and more accessible for all dental students worldwide to
experience the joy and thrill of visiting foreign countries and living dentistry as their hosting colleagues do. And we are betting EST, SITATUR AUT ET AS on the“TO Internet, as an instrument of growth, toSIT reach our target.
