The provision of continuing education for general dental practitioners is expanding with a bewildering range of presentation methods and variation in quality. The first stage in the development of any educational programme should be identification of target audience needs, but little has been published on this subject. To draw the attention of providers of continuing education material to the perceived needs of general dental practitioners in one geographical region, a questionnaire survey was employed. Scottish general dental practitioners were asked to identify topics on which they needed continuing education. Sixty-five per cent responded. Conservative dentistry and periodontology were requested most frequently. The reasons for this and the wide range of topics requested are discussed.
面向普通牙科医生的继续教育正在不断扩展，其呈现方式纷繁复杂，质量也参差不齐。任何教育项目开展的第一阶段都应是确定目标受众的需求，但关于这一主题的相关著述甚少。为使继续教育材料的提供者关注某一地理区域普通牙科医生的实际需求，我们开展了一项问卷调查。我们要求苏格兰的普通牙科医生指明他们需要继续教育的主题。65%的人做出了回应。其中，保守牙科和牙周病学的需求最为频繁。本文探讨了出现这种情况的原因以及所需求主题的广泛范围。
