In this article, the author introduced three course of comprehensive quality training set up in the University of California, Los Angeles School of Dentistry (UCLA), named "introduction to behavioral science", "patient management", "methods in evidence-based dentistry". In order to provide reference for our medical reform of dental students, the content of the three courses were provided and the importance of comprehensive quality training was evaluated. The curriculum type, number of hours and time to deliver were compared between UCLA and School of Stomatology, Shandong University. It was found that the comprehensive quality training-related curriculum, offered in Shandong University covered fewer content, fewer number of hours and delivered later. Therefore, the author suggests the domestic dental institutions set up the three cutting-edge courses integrated with clinical practice as well.
