Educational activities of continuing professional development as a platform for constant professional improvement of dentists

Abstract

Continuing professional development lasts throughout the entire period of professional activity and enables a doctor not only to constantly maintain, but also to improve the standards of professional activity in accordance with the needs of the dental industry. Public professional associations are an effective platform for professional communication and improvement of knowledge and doctors’ practical skills. During the first half of 2024, the NGO “Association of Dentists of Ukraine” organized and conducted several educational events for dentists, both in real time and in classroom format. During educational events, doctors had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the latest technologies in dentistry, were provided with educational and methodological materials for better knowledge acquisition and mastering skills, as well as regulatory and other documents providing medical dental care. The NGO “Association of Dentists of Ukraine” constantly monitors the satisfaction of doctors with educational events and, based on the results of the survey, publishes relevant articles in a professional journal.
