The collaboration between Poltava State Medical University (PSMU) and the University of New Haven (Connecticut, USA) continues, a partnership initiated through the BridgeUSA UAFP program for Ukrainian educators. One of the program's graduates is Kateryna Lokes, Head of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at PSMU.

As part of this cooperation, Senior Lecturer Julie Botticello, PhD, delivered a lecture titled "Public Health Ethics and Justice", introducing PSMU representatives to key concepts in public health ethics. The lecture sparked great interest and lively discussions, further strengthening academic ties between the two institutions.
