摘要

為瞭解目前牙醫學敎育之課程與訓練，在實習醫師實際參與臨床時，是否讓實習醫師有充分的準備與背景，足以從事牙醫師之職務。請他們就課程之份量與品質表示意見。以問卷調查的方式詢問全體33位即將畢業的牙科實習醫師（其中9位來自外校）。結果顯示，牙科課程之份量適中，品質均在中等以上。臨床前實驗部份品質較優。臨床實習方面，以牙髓病學、牙體復形學及補綴學之品質較優，而齒顎矯正學、兒童牙科學及一般牙科之實習份量不足；基礎醫學之份量過重；實習醫師對於獨力診治病人已具有信心。因此，牙科與醫科間以及牙醫學系内部之課程應相互協調，解決份量比重與實際需要不均衡的現象。新課程的設計應參考學生意見、世界潮流及社會需要，並強調預防醫學及牙科基礎醫學，以更符合牙醫學敎育之精神。

The purpose of this survey is to review the dental undergraduate curriculum to assess weight and quality of the courses, relevance for present clinical practice, and appropriateness of training for clinical practice. Questionnaires were sent to all (33) final-year dental students, of whom 9 students were from other dental schools, a week before they finished clinical training in the Department of Dentistry of the National Taiwan University Hospital. All students responded. The students reported that their dental curriculum had proper weight and good quality, especially in pre-clinical subjects. The students felt that they received sufficient to very good training in endodontics, operative dentistry and prosthodontics. But, clinical experience in the areas of orthodontics, pediatric dentistry and general dentistry could have been more extensive. However, final-year students indicated that their dental education in basic medical sciences was too extensive. The degree of self-confidence for future solo practice was above 65%.Students would like to receive clinical dental courses earlier, so that they would be able to start clinical practice earlier. There was some imbalance between the weight of medical and dental courses, and among the dental courses themselves. Therefore, readjustment among the courses is needed. In conclusion, the majority of graduating dental students felt that their undergraduate education prepared them fairly well for future general practice. The results of this survey have implications for planning curricular changes for dental education.
