Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Unud Prof. Komang Januartha Putra Pinatih in his speech said that the accreditation process must be followed by all educational institutions because it is part of the external quality assurance system. Of course, all components in the study program have tried their best to provide the best for this study program.

This study program is relatively young, only 8 years old, of course it needs to be given lots of input and suggestions from the Assessor Team so that in the future the study program can be even better. The task force is expected to provide as much information as possible to assessors so that it can become the basis for providing input that will become a reference for improvement efforts. He hopes that this process can be a trigger to foster continuous quality improvement efforts.

Vice Rector Prof. I Gede Rai Maya Temaja in his speech said that we have implemented a quality culture, internal quality audits and management review meetings to obtain input for improvements to ensure quality assurance for graduate users in accordance with the university's vision. The Assessor's presence is to take photos where reporting has previously been carried out and through the assessment the adequacy has been seen by the Assessor. It is hoped that the study program can be completed if there are missing documents and it is hoped that the assessors will provide an opportunity to correct these documents. The Vice Rector also said that the Rector really supports the implementation of learning to produce superior outcomes.

Meanwhile, the Assessor's representative, Dr. Hardisiswo Soedjana said that accreditation is a photo shoot or assessment so that later it is hoped that the results will be used as input for a better study program. They understand that hard work is needed from all components in preparing this accreditation so that it produces good results. What is done must be recorded and then evaluated, whether it is research, education or community service.

The party has a mandate from LAM PTKes and has also entered into an integrity agreement so that if there is something missing it will be conveyed. Providing good education is one that has clear planning and a process for implementing education according to the curriculum and has standard evaluation and control through internal and external audits.
