Description

<p>Japan Prosthodontic Society (JPS) has been developing an education curriculum suitable for training board-certified prosthodontists as required by Japanese Dental Specialty Board (JDSB). The curriculum is now almost complete, and an overview of the curriculum was presented at the 131st Annual Meeting of JPS. Due to time constraints, we were not able to present some of the topics at the seminar, so we have written this article to let our members know about the contents of the education curriculum.</p><p>The curriculum design of board-certified prosthodontist system consists of a basic training program to acquire the basic knowledge and skills of a prosthodontist as a fundamental training program, which is followed by a case series-based evaluation and a competence-based evaluation from the viewpoint of the abilities that a prosthodontist should fulfill. These evaluations and the level of learning achievement are organized in the “Board-Certified Prosthodontist Training Evaluation Record”, which is a kind of practice book. This paper mainly outlines the method of filling out this evaluation record, and describes the credits and examinations required for certification as a specialist in prosthodontics accredited by JDSB.</p><p>The curriculum is currently being tested at various training institutions and will be revised from time to time to correct any inconsistencies or operational problems. We hope that it will serve as a reference for teaching young prosthodontists and for young dentists undergoing education.</p>
