The aim of this study was to take the field manager`s opinion about the dental hygiene student`s competency. Study design was cross sectional contents analysis with the in-depth interviews. Twelve subjects were randomly selected in half an hour interview. They were signed there`s own autograph on the informed consents. The contents of the qualitative interviews were divided into two parts: student`s competency required for the field practice and the system of the field practice. The first part consisted of the attitude of the field`s practice, how well has accomplished the job, and demanded requirements for the better performance. And the other part was made up of duration of practice, the number of students per institution and other opinion. The results showed that most of them have positive conception about student`s competency. They mentioned that many students have ``enthusiastic behavior and attitude in task performance`` and ``progressive attitude and mind in duty``. While ``lack of interest in practice and sociality``, ``the arrogant demeanor in the fields``, and ``passive behavior and attitude in the interpersonal relationship`` should be avoided for excellent competency. It is required for dental hygiene students to write daily practice record and clarify their reasons to choose the institution for better performance. In addition, it should be considered to make concrete evaluation items and students and field managers should have mutual responsibility.
