Abstract
|
|
|
|
This study aimed to evaluate the courses of pediatric dentistry based on correlation analysis between scores of objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) and related subjects for 79 fourth-year students. The score of theory were related to preclinical (r = 0.449, p = 0.000) and clerkship (r = 0.437, p = 0.000) each, but the scores of clerkship were not related to OSCE. To make the students skillful for clerkship, more professor’s firsthand teaching on treating patients and adequate numbers of clinical professors are required. Patients who come to the university dental hospital prefer to be treated by professors rather than students. In these circumstances, educational conditions should be arranged by ensuring the number of professors for teaching students to improve their clinical competence through direct instruction and feedback to students. In addition, pragmatic improvement plans, which allow continuous education and evaluation about basic techniques to be examined in the clinical practice course, should be compromised with the more concrete evaluation of the curriculum in order to evaluate theoretical knowledge and technical trainings to be well exercised and deepened in the practical clinical field.
