초록
To meet the appropriated learning–teaching system in dental education and offer quality education and to keep the dental curriculum up to date with the international standards, the faculty of Dentistry (FOD) needs to improve the undergraduate curriculum to be more efficient for the development of Laos’ people’s oral healthcare. Together, FOD also wants to increase the capability of faculty members, which will be crucial in the development of dentistry. For achieving this goal, FOD has a development plan for the dental curriculum to increase the competency of dental students and faculty members as well. Seven articles have been written regarding FOD's policies concerning the development plan; these are intended to be enacted in the years 2019 to 2023. Nonetheless, the actions suggested by seven articles are challenging and will require much time to go from policy to reality. Besides, the author proposed some issues in dental educational development and dental education status. In conclusion, this document would be helpful for the understanding of Laos’ dental education situation and for the cooperation with an international dental organization to improve dental school and the competency of oral health professionals.
