Lavrenyuk Evgeny Andreevich, an associate professor of the Department of Therapeutic and Pediatric Dentistry, PhD and scientific adviser of Ivan Krolius, a 4th year student of the Faculty of Dentistry, shared his impression of “Therapeutic Dentistry” competition: “It was an online contest for our students, that’s why first of all they had to provide a video of their practical task. For Ivan it was restoring a tooth. The second stage was a theoretical one. Students were interviewed online and had to answered tricky questions. Ivan Krolus did his best and managed to become one of the winners.”
Congratulations to all participants and winners!
