New Doctor Representative, dr. Giovanni Tigor Jones, in his speech expressed his gratitude for the knowledge gained while studying at the UNS Faculty of Medicine.

"I would like to thank the UNS Faculty of Medicine, Dr. Moewardi, Network Hospitals and other institutions involved in our educational process through their professors, doctors and our teachers. Thank you for all the knowledge, role models and kindness that has been given to us," he said.

Dean of FK UNS, Prof. Reviono in his speech reminded the magnitude of the challenges ahead for these new doctors.

“As the Dean of the UNS Faculty of Medicine, I congratulate the 3 new doctors who were sworn in today. The process required to become a doctor is not an easy process. But what is no less difficult is your responsibility after holding this doctor's degree, how you are required to be able to contribute to society," Prof. Reviono said.

He further stated that there are many issues currently developing, such as the shortage of doctors, the uneven distribution of doctors to the issue of foreign doctors entering Indonesia, which is a big challenge for these new doctors.

“However, we have prepared all of you with the provisions that you have learned during your education. Our education is competency-based so we provide sufficient clinical skills or abilities. Non-academic matters are also important for you to pay attention to, such as professionalism, communication techniques and most importantly integrity such as honesty and discipline. If you master it all then success will not be difficult to achieve,” Prof. Reviono said.
