The regional gathering focused on elevating Thai dental education to international standards and fostering nationwide institutional collaboration.
On 13 July 2026, the Faculty of Dentistry at Khon Kaen University (KKU) hosted the 2026 Executive Committee of the Dental Schools Consortium of Thailand (DSCT) Knowledge Exchange Programme. Assistant Professor Ajiravudh Subarnbhesaj, Ph.D., Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry, alongside faculty executives and staff, warmly welcomed the DSCT committee members and representatives from network institutions across the country.
The meeting served as an important national platform for exchanging knowledge and experience in academic administration, research, curriculum development, and the future direction of dental education. The primary objective of the discussions was to collectively raise the quality of dental graduate production and advance the dental profession in Thailand, ensuring it remains adaptive to global changes and responsive to national demands.
This gathering also provided a valuable opportunity for executives and representatives from various dental academic institutions and professional organisations to meet, share insights, establish collaborative networks, and strengthen institutional ties. These concerted efforts aim to advance Thai dental education towards international standards.
As host of this national forum, the Faculty of Dentistry at Khon Kaen University continues to demonstrate its commitment to academic excellence and active community engagement. By building strong partnerships with dental schools nationwide, KKU plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of dental medicine and contributing to the sustainable development of healthcare education in Thailand.
