The undergraduate dental curriculum in Swedish dental schools has recently been changed. The aim of this study was to estimate the opinions of recently qualified dentists concerning their undergraduate education received according to the old curriculum. A questionnaire was mailed to all graduates who qualified from the dental school in Huddinge between 1981-1983. The response rate was 71%. The respondents indicated that their theoretical knowledge was in general better in subjects closely related to clinical dentistry compared with basic biological subjects or behavioural science subjects. In most subjects clinical competence was closely related to the level of theoretical knowledge. The results of this study suggest that the "old" dental curriculum was successful in imparting knowledge concerning traditional dental subjects and preventive dentistry, but less successful in imparting knowledge concerning basic and medical sciences, behavioural subjects and in relating theoretical and practical skills.
瑞典牙科学校的本科牙科课程最近发生了变化。本研究的目的是评估刚获得资格的牙医对他们按照旧课程接受的本科教育的看法。向1981年至1983年间在胡丁厄牙科学校获得资格的所有毕业生邮寄了一份问卷。回复率为71%。受访者表示，与基础生物学或行为科学科目相比，他们在与临床牙科密切相关的科目上的理论知识总体上更好。在大多数科目中，临床能力与理论知识水平密切相关。本研究结果表明，“旧”牙科课程在传授传统牙科科目和预防牙科知识方面很成功，但在传授基础和医学科学、行为科目以及将理论和实践技能联系起来方面不太成功。
