MADS is a senate-recognised association representing all the dental surgery students studying at the Faculty of Dental Surgery of the University of Malta. The MADS is based at the Medical School and operates within the Faculty of Dental Surgery.

We are a non-profit association, aimed at promoting the study of dentistry in Malta and protecting the interest of all local dental students.

Objectives also include:

• Promotion of student exchanges.
• Playing an active role in dental education and public health promotion through publication of articles in local magazines/newspapers and through our website.
• The organisation of social, sporting, educational and cultural activities.

Highlights throughout the year are the organisation of a Christmas Gala Dinner, a Summer BBQ, other social events including parties, and a number of first aid courses.

The MADS is managed by an Executive Committee elected at the beginning of every academic year at the Association’s Annual General Meeting. The Executive Committee is made up of nine officials namely the President, Secretary, Treasurer, Information Technology Officer, National Exchange Officer, Activities Organiser, Social Policy Commissioner, Dental Education Officer and the Public Health Officer. Apart from the Executive Committee, the MADS can have specific subcommittees such as the one that was set up to organise the Malta 2000 IADS-YDW Worldwide Dental Congress.

The Association is affiliated with the International Association of Dental students (I.A.D.S).

The MADS is also represented on the Faculty Board of the Faculty of Dental surgery and enjoys a very good relationship with the members and staff of the Faculty.
