And, in addition to being commemorative, it was special, mainly due to the choice of the honoree, who has a commendable trajectory.”
 

     
Marcos also highlighted that “the journey takes place every year and there are always several standard practices, but this edition brought some unprecedented programs, such as, for example, the Cantinho da Odontologia”. According to the student, "the idea was to get out of the 'box' and show the other side of the dental student, who can be an artist, entrepreneur, among other options." As for, there was the presentation of papers, with the aim of encouraging the student to become interested in scientific initiation, "being a motivation for those who want to pursue a master's or doctoral degree."

The topics covered were "management, enchantment of patients and all these marketing strategies that are very useful for professionals who will leave the Bahiana”.

Through the space of the artist dentist, for example, students were able to exhibit their manual skills, such as painting and gastronomy”.

The honoree, Dr. Maria Luisa, revealed the importance of JOBA, for being “a moment that integrates students and professionals from Bahiana with students and professionals from other schools. There is an exchange of experiences, which encourages the learning process”.

The dean recalls that “the Journey has grown a lot in recent years and, for the Bahiana, is the second biggest event. The first being the Scientific Exhibition”. Regarding the tribute received, Maria Luisa reports that she felt “excited and happy for having had this opportunity from such competent and caring people”.

For Nathan Leite, a 2nd semester student, the Journey was very significant. “The event allowed me to open up a scientific horizon, something that I had only idealized before, and, from here, I was able to experience in my vein what it really is. I attended the lectures and found it very enriching, especially the lecture on maxillofacial, a specialization that I think about doing residency. This exchange of knowledge enriches me a lot, as it gives me a theoretical basis about the issues and favors me as a person”, reported the student.

The second day of programming of the journey had a special moment. Professors and students of the Dentistry course honored the coordinator Prof. Urbino Tunis. "As we completed 20 years of the course and Professor Urbino Tunes has been the coordinator since the course began, participating together with Prof. Humberto Castro Lima in the pedagogical project, Joba paid a tribute to him with the presentation of actress and dancer Alice Becker who staged the poem "O Lao eo Abraço" by Mário Quintana," says Prof. Cecília Azoubel, highlighting the presence of Prof. Urbino who, on the occasion, delivered the gift offered by the Joba organizing committee.
