This socialization activity was also attended by the deputy deans, chairman and secretary of the undergraduate dental education study program, chairman and secretary of the dental profession study program, the UMI FKG SPMI team, UMI FKG lecturers, and UMI FKG educational staff. The presence of all academic elements shows a shared commitment to supporting the implementation of a quality system that is more effective, focused and in accordance with higher education standards.
In his presentation, the Chair of the UMI LPM explained the importance of updating SPMI equipment documents as part of the ongoing quality evaluation and development process. The SPMI tool document is the main reference in implementing educational standards, research, community service, and study program governance.
He also emphasized that document updates need to be carried out regularly to be in line with regulatory developments, accreditation needs, as well as demands for improving the quality of academic services. In addition, each study program is expected to be able to understand and apply quality standards consistently in all academic and non-academic processes.
Socialization activities were also filled with interactive discussion sessions between participants and the UMI LPM team. The dean and deputy deans, chairman and SPMI team were given the opportunity to submit questions, input and obstacles faced in the preparation and implementation of SPMI documents in each study program.
Through this forum, it is hoped that a more comprehensive understanding will be created regarding the mechanisms for preparing, evaluating and reporting quality documents so that the SPMI implementation process can run optimally and sustainably.
By carrying out this socialization activity, it is hoped that FKG UMI will be better prepared to update SPMI equipment documents in a systematic and integrated manner. This step is also a form of the university's commitment to realizing a sustainable quality culture in order to improve the quality of higher education and institutional competitiveness. The activity closed with an invitation to the entire academic community to continue to work together in supporting the implementation of an internal quality assurance system that is professional, adaptive, and oriented towards improving the quality of educational services.
