英国牙医学教育和中国口腔医学教育的比较与借鉴

Comparisons and reference of dental education between the United Kingdom and China

口腔医学教育制度和口腔医师培养模式对口腔医疗体系发展有重要影响。英国的牙医学教育经过多年探索与发展，已经较为成熟，对中国口腔医学教育有积极借鉴意义。英国牙医学教育由英国牙科委员会（GeneralDentalCouncil，GDC）统一规划和监管，形成牙医学5年本科教育、2-3年硕士研究生教育、3-5年博士研究生教育的学历教育体系。职业教育以2年毕业后执业医师基础培训（dentalfoundationtraining，DFr）为根底，包括3-5年二级学科专科培养和强调终生学习的继续教育。中英两国口腔医学／牙医学在院校教育和继续教育教学内容设计上有可比性：英国牙医学住院医师和专科医师培训制度等方面，值得我国口腔医学教育借鉴。

Dental education in United Kingdom has been amongst the best in the world with years of experience. General Dental Council （GDC） is the sole competent authority for dentistry in the UK. GDC produces guidance on dental education and lead the inspections and monitoring for dental schools. Post- graduate Dental Deans are responsible for the provision and quality management of the education and training of dental graduates during 2 years＇ foundation training and 3-5 years＇ specialty training. There are similarities between UK dental education system and Chinese system in school education and continuing education. It is worthy of reference for the dental education in China in terms of the training system of dental residents and specialists in the United kingdom.
