Bucharest Dental Students Association (BDSA) is an independent, non-political and non-governmental, local students association that represents the dental students from Bucharest. BDSA is a co-founder of FSMDR, the National Federation of Dental Students, part of the National Union of Students from Romania (USR), but also an EDSA and IADS member.
BDSA offers a complex experience and guides every student’s steps throughout the 6 years of university. “Baby Steps” is a introducing project for the freshers to the new student life, helping them make a memorable first impression out of it. Further projects offer the access to scientific activities, lectures and workshops: the DENT-X Congress is held every year, gathering great names of the dentistry field and represent a chance for the students to attend hands-on activities and gain practical experience.
From time to time, it is the same team that gets wild and organises parties to celebrate different occasions. As a romanian dental student, you have the chance to spend a week in another city and discover their dental faculty through Interdentis, an exchanging programme that is organised twice a year with other universities from around the country. BDSA is also involved in helping the poor by coordinating donation campaigns for Christmas or Easter and in teaching children basic hygienic rules as part of the project called Prophylaxy in Schools.
