I am happy to say, we reached our major goals, so I wish to believe our ERASMUS mission is <strong>completed<\/strong>. Moreover, during active and <strong>face-to-face dialogues to President of PUA, Secretary General, Deans, Professors, visiting dental clinical practices and giving lectures <\/strong>we were able to discover the similarities and differences in dental curriculums\/ practical issues existing between PUA and UEF education. So I personally feel that <strong>PUA<\/strong> in Alexandria at <strong>near<\/strong>-middle <strong>east<\/strong> and its dental education system is not as much far <strong>from our <\/strong>basic<strong> dental standards, <\/strong>as we expected before this trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/03\/01-003.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"863\" height=\"840\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/03\/01-003.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1725\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/03\/01-003.jpg 863w, https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/03\/01-003-768x748.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 863px) 100vw, 863px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We were able to <strong>map <\/strong>and <strong>compare <\/strong>accurately the <strong>curricular content, teaching methods<\/strong> and assessment techniques, <strong>core facilities<\/strong> used in dental preclinical\/clinical programs at<strong> PUA<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, <strong><em>we had to took off our winter boots<\/em><\/strong>, because <strong>Egypt<\/strong> offers something of what Kuopio might not have it during early spring time: massive positive Celsius with vivid street <strong>life<\/strong> even <strong>after sunset.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/03\/Picture-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"884\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/03\/Picture-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/03\/Picture-4.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/03\/Picture-4-768x566.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Although I am having several 100s of thousands kilometer behind my back, as a driver from middle of (<strong>K<\/strong>)nowhere I felt <strong>challenging<\/strong> the everyday <strong>trafficking<\/strong> in Alexandria.
