The significance of continuing education for the development of a professional person is indisputable. There is evidence that participatory continuing education is the most effective form for this activity to take in relation to dentists and clinical practice. Working Group 15, appointed by the FDI Commission, specifically studied this form of continuing education by use of a questionnaire to 26 representative national dental associations. The majority of countries surveyed have at least some education of this sort although it forms only a small proportion overall. Little evaluation seems to take place to measure the subsequent value to the practitioners attending. The results of the information gathered are discussed and recommendations are made.
继续教育对于专业人员的发展具有无可争议的重要性。有证据表明，参与式继续教育是针对牙医和临床实践开展此项活动的最有效形式。由国际牙科联合会（FDI）委员会任命的第15工作组，通过向26个具有代表性的国家牙科协会发放调查问卷，专门研究了这种形式的继续教育。大多数接受调查的国家至少开展了一些此类教育，尽管它在总体中仅占一小部分。似乎很少进行评估以衡量对参加培训的从业者的后续价值。本文讨论了所收集信息的结果并提出了建议。
