Dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the Campus Asia Plus in Dentistry (CA+inD) International Symposium 2024 & 2024 Scientific Annual Meeting of Association for Dental Education, Asia Pacific (ADEAP). This prestigious event will be held on October 19 and 20, 2024, at the Tohoku University Graduate School of Dentistry in Sendai.
As the Dean of Tohoku University Graduate School of Dentistry and the Current President of the ADEAP, I am honored to host this symposium, which promises to be a remarkable opportunity for growth and collaboration. Our theme aligns with the objectives of the CA+inD: to nurture multimodal global leaders. These are individuals capable of selecting and applying knowledge and skills acquired from various perspectives, tailored to the needs of education, research, health care, industry, and government, while understanding the intricate interactions between these contexts.
Furthermore, the ADEAP remains dedicated to fostering collaboration among Dental Schools in the Asia Pacific region. Our goal is to promote the quality of dental education and dental care across this diverse and dynamic area.
During this symposium, you will have the chance to engage with leading experts, share groundbreaking research, and participate in stimulating discussions that will shape the future of dental education and practice. We believe that this event will inspire innovative ideas and forge strong bonds among participants, contributing to the advancement of dental education and healthcare in our region and beyond.
Thank you for joining us, and I look forward to a successful and enriching symposium.
