Discussing the forum’s mission, Dr William Cheung, chair of the FDI Education Committee and the visionary behind the initiative, explained: “Our aim is to provide young professionals with a platform where they can learn about the latest developments in dentistry, explore various career paths and foster connections with peers.” By creating a dynamic environment that nurtures the exchange of knowledge and ideas, FDI is demonstrating its dedication to equipping young dentists with the tools they need to excel in their early careers. 

Dr Cheung regards the Young Dentists Forum as more than a mere educational event and emphasised its transformative nature. “It’s a unique opportunity for young dentists to gain invaluable exposure to the inner workings of FDI. Understanding the role of a global organised dentistry body like FDI is vital in shaping the future of our profession. By encouraging active involvement within our organisation, we can collectively address critical issues affecting dentistry worldwide,” Dr Cheung noted.

The Young Dentists Forum will play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between experienced professionals and emerging talent in the field, providing them with a common platform to exchange knowledge, ideas and best practices. Specifically, Dr Cheung believes that the event will grant young dental professionals and students direct access to industry leaders and give them the chance to present on an international stage—an experience that can be truly transformative and spark innovative thinking. 

Young dentists are invited to seize the opportunity to learn about the various career paths within dentistry, unlocking a world of possibilities as they pave the way to becoming the next generation of leaders within the field. With engaging presentations and a dynamic panel discussion, the Young Dentists Forum promises to be an inspiring event for young dentists from all regions of the world.
