Meanwhile, the youngest graduate is Anak Agung Sagung Wikan Putridewi K, dr., Sp.Rad from the Radiology Study Program, who completed her specialist medical education at the age of 29 years and 0 months.

Dr. Muhammad Riza, Secretary General of the UNS Faculty of Medicine Alumni Association, advised alumni to maintain the values of camaraderie among fellow alumni in facing the various challenges and dynamics ahead.

"After you all return to your hometowns, seek out your senior alumni, even if they have different specialties, and maintain good relationships. Likewise, if you have younger alumni of the Faculty of Medicine, UNS, who might be working in your area, give them good opportunities to work and serve," he said.

Prof. Fitria hopes that this graduation moment will not be a moment to stop learning, but rather a starting point to continue improving your competency and dedicating your knowledge.

"This specialist doctor title is the result of all of your hard work, high dedication, extraordinary perseverance, and strong commitment over several years of education. However, we all recognize that this new title is a starting point for moving on to the next stage: implementing the knowledge gained during your studies in the community," she explained.

He also stated that the true learning process will occur when you serve the community.

"Because learning in this community is a life lesson that is far more important than academic learning, where you will all be required to develop soft skills and character. You will also be required to learn and understand how to interact with colleagues, staff, patients, and the wider community," Prof. Fitria said.

In his remarks, the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, UNS, Prof. Reviono, urged the newly inaugurated specialist doctors to carry out their roles as professional doctors.

"As doctors, we must carry out this profession professionally. There are elements within this professionalism: first, competence. You have been given competent knowledge and have also been tested and have passed the required competencies. This competence must be maintained. Second, responsibility; we must be accountable for our work. Then, there are specific elements, such as patient safety, which are also included in the components of professionalism," he explained.

Furthermore, Prof. Reviono also advised the new specialist doctors, now alumni, to uphold the good name of UNS and continue to maintain good relations with both colleagues and their alma mater.

"I also urge you all to always carry the name of the Faculty of Medicine UNS with you when you return to your institutions. Uphold its good name, because it is your alma mater," he said.

With the graduation of specialist doctors for the January 2026 period, since its founding in 1976, the Faculty of Medicine UNS has graduated 2,172 specialist doctors. These graduates have spread throughout Indonesia and dedicated their knowledge to various fields, including healthcare, education, research, and government and private institutions throughout Indonesia.
