The objective of this study is to assess the opinion of dental students regarding the necessity for a practice management (PM) course in their curriculum. To determine the necessity of a PM course in dental programs, a series of questions was developed and given to 100 dental students. Dental students were asked a series of questions about the necessity of this course, and responses were gathered. The questionnaire included time management, patient management, teamwork, leadership quality, and other requirements of the course. According to the results, dentistry students desired that the PM curriculum cover subjects such as teamwork, confidence, the value of the PM course, time management, patient management abilities, leadership qualities, and others. Most of the responses obtained from the students agreed that the PM curriculum must be taught with the course for better management. The development of any course should be based on the need and opinion of the students who pursue the course of dentistry. Thus, this study evaluates the need for a PM course in an undergraduate (UG) dental program.
本研究的目的是评估牙科学生对其课程中实践管理（PM）课程必要性的看法。为了确定牙科项目中PM课程的必要性，设计了一系列问题并发放给100名牙科学生。向牙科学生询问了一系列关于该课程必要性的问题，并收集了他们的回答。问卷包括时间管理、患者管理、团队合作、领导素质以及该课程的其他要求。根据结果，牙科学生希望PM课程涵盖团队合作、信心、PM课程的价值、时间管理、患者管理能力、领导素质等主题。从学生那里获得的大多数回答都认为，为了更好地进行管理，PM课程必须与该课程一起教授。任何课程的开发都应该基于攻读牙科课程的学生的需求和意见。因此，本研究评估了本科牙科项目中PM课程的必要性。
