Dental Curriculum Development in Developing Countries.

Phantumvanit, Prathip

Journal of Dental Education, v60 n9 p783-86 Sep 1996

Since establishment of formal dental education in Southeast Asia, changes stemming from research and technology have led to dental curriculum changes. Development of the dental curriculum can be divided into three phases: disease oriented; health oriented; and community oriented. Evolution of these phases is traced in the dental curricula of Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Thailand. (MSE)
