|
Purpose: This paper aims to analyze the currently implemented continuing professional education(CPE) programs in Korea and to expedite further improvements on CPE programs in the future. As a baseline study, it also promotes the competencies of dentists in the rapidly changing society and to improve levels and purview of dental education in universities.
Research Methods: The CPE advertisements from Korean dental newspapers between 1 September 2007 and 31 August 2009, as well as those from Seminar Review, a Korean dental newspaper, between 1 March 2008 and 31 August 2009, were obtained from the Seoul National University dental library to be analyzed.
Research Results: A total of 1,732 CPE programs were advertized on the Korean dental newspaper (between 1 September 2007 and 31 August 2009) and on Seminar Review (between 1 March 2008 and 31 August 2009). Programs about dental implants were the most common programs (38%) and the orthodontic programs came second (13.7%). More than half of the programs (58.3%) didn"t include hands-on clinical practices. 53.3% of the implant programs used hands-on sessions while only 28.6% of orthodontic treatment programs provided such opportunities.
Conclusion: This paper gains its significance as a basic reference or data that advocates the prevention of commercialization of dental education market and promotes the improvement of both university education and CPE programs.
