About LADS

Who we are and what we stand for.

Our Association

Registered, student-run, and represented internationally.

The Lebanese Association of Dental Students (LADS) is a non-profit, non-political NGO founded in 2015 in Beirut. We represent the interests of dental students across Lebanon and connect them with opportunities in research, training, exchange, public health, and community service.

Our members come from the three dental faculties of Lebanon: Beirut Arab University (BAU), the Lebanese University (LU), and Université Saint-Joseph (USJ). LADS is affiliated with the International Association of Dental Students (IADS), giving members direct access to international congresses, exchange programs, research networks, and training opportunities.

LADS is officially registered with the Lebanese government and operates under its constitution and internal bylaws. The Board consists of fifteen members: the Executive Committee and the Head of each standing committee.
