Dr. Nugrohoaji Dharmawan, Deputy Chair III of the FK UNS Alumni Association, urged alumni to maintain the values of camaraderie among themselves as they face the various challenges and dynamics ahead.

"This is the first step on a long journey, the professional world you will truly enter after earning your medical specialist degree. The competition ahead will be fiercer, and the challenges greater. Our hope, as alumni, is that you will serve and contribute significantly to the FK UNS Alumni Association," he said.

Prof. Fitria hopes that this farewell will not be a moment to stop learning, but rather a starting point for continuing to improve your competency and share your knowledge.

"Currently, there are 84 million Indonesian children who, by 2045, will be the productive generation. Therefore, today's health conditions will determine the nation's civilization in the years to come. We only have two decades to prepare a generation, and here the role of doctors, especially specialist doctors, is crucial," she explained.

This also prompted the government to initiate a program to accelerate the opening of medical study programs to encourage increased doctor production in Indonesia.

"The Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology and the Ministry of Health are focusing on specialist medical education. This is evident in the accelerated establishment of specialist medical education programs in 2026, and UNS has been mandated to open 11, of which 10 are ready," Prof. Fitria said.

In his remarks, the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, UNS, Prof. Reviono, stated that specialist graduates are expected to be impartial in carrying out their roles as doctors, as they are bound by their professional oath.

"Maintain professionalism, as that will ensure and be recognized in society. Then, maintain integrity, such as honesty, discipline, and so on. Furthermore, foster relationships, especially among fellow professionals and alumni, because at the very least, if they are fellow FK UNS graduates, the bonds are stronger," he said.

With the graduation of specialist doctors for the December 2025 period, since its founding in 1976, FK UNS has graduated 2,140 specialist doctors. These graduates have spread and dedicated their knowledge to various fields, including healthcare, education, research, and government and private institutions throughout Indonesia.
