Professor Dr. Ana Paula Reis, a lecturer at the Faculty of Health Sciences of Fernando Pessoa University and member of the Board of Directors of the Order of Dental Doctors (OMD), in her capacity as representative of the North Region, participated, on behalf of the OMD, in the opening ceremony of the V Trofa Saúde Dental Congress, which is taking place in Trofa Saúde Gaia. At the same ceremony, Beatriz Topa, a student of the 5th year of the Integrated Master's Degree in Dental Medicine at Fernando Pessoa University, was present on behalf of the National Association of Students of Dental Medicine (ANEMD). The ceremony brought together representatives of academic institutions, professional organizations and those responsible for Trofa Saúde, constituting a moment of encounter between different actors of the national Dental Medicine community.

The participation of the lecturer and the student from UFP, representing two distinct structures, highlights the involvement of the academic community of the University in the institutional and associative representation spaces of Dental Medicine, both at the professional and student levels.
