中澳口腔医学教育对比分析

The contrastive analysis of the characteristics of dental education in Australia and China

完善的口腔医学教育体系和口腔医生培养模式对培养高质量口腔医生至关重要。自20世纪60年代以来,澳大利亚不断发展完善牙医学教育,现已形成一套成熟有效的牙医培养模式:理学本科课程加四年牙医学博士课程培养全科医生;2年临床经验加3年专科博士课程培养专科医生。牙医学博士课程主要分牙科基础模块、生命科学模块、牙科临床模块和研究模块,课程设置具有专业课占比大、学生接触临床时间早、临床技能与科研素质共同培养等特点;考核方式以病例汇报为主,重视理论、临床融会贯通。从中国和澳大利亚牙医学教育体系背景、学制和纳入标准、课程设置等方面比较分析,结合国情提出我国口腔医学教育可进一步完善之处,望为我国口腔医学教育者提供借鉴。

The dental education system and the training mode of dentists have a crucial influence on the quality of national dentists. Since 1960s, Australia has been constantly developing its dental education system, and now a mature and efficient mode of cultivating dentists has been formed, that is, bachelor degree of science being the prerequisite, four-year doctorate courses in dental medicine to produce general practice, two-year clinical experience and three-year doctorate courses in clinical dentistry to produce specialists. The dental courses in Australia are mainly composed of four parts: basic dentistry, life science, clinical dentistry model and research. The courses are characterized by a larger proportion for professional courses and an earlier time point for students to step in clinics, the co-culture of clinical and research skills, etc. The assessing method is case report, which means they put greater emphasis on intersection of clinics and lectures. We can learn a lot from their education system. The author compared and analyzed the dental education system of the two countries from background, course length and inclusion criteria, course design and etc, and came up with advice on dental education system of our own, hoping to provide Chinese dental educators with inspiration.
