Стаття аналізує вплив професійних асоціацій на стандартизацію стоматологічної освіти в США. Розглянуто роль Американської стоматологічної асоціації (ADA), Асоціації американських стоматологічних освітян (ADEA) та Комісії з акредитації стоматологічних програм (CODA) у формуванні стандартів навчання та акредитації. Окремо вивчаються інноваційні технології, міждисциплінарність та безперервний професійний розвиток у навчальних програмах. Підкреслено важливість міжнародної співпраці для підвищення якості освіти та підготовки конкурентоспроможних фахівців. Стаття є корисною для освітян, стоматологів і тих, хто цікавиться процесами стандартизації стоматологічної освіти.
The article explores the significant role that professional associations, particularly in the United States, play in shaping and standardizing dental education. The American Dental Association (ADA) and other key organizations, such as the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA), are central to setting educational standards and ensuring the quality of dental programs across the country. These organizations have a strong influence on curriculum development, accreditation processes, and the integration of modern technologies into dental training. In the U.S., dental education is a specialized field that begins after obtaining a bachelor's degree. Students undergo a four-year program at accredited dental schools, culminating in the attainment of a DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) or DMD (Doctor of Dental Medicine) degree. The educational process emphasizes both theoretical knowledge and clinical practice, with a focus on continuous professional development. One of the main features of U.S. dental education is the use of advanced simulation centers, which allow students to gain hands-on experience in a controlled environment before interacting with patients. Professional associations in the U.S. also play a crucial role in providing ongoing education opportunities for practicing dentists through Continuing Dental Education (CDE) programs. These programs ensure that dental professionals stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in the field, including new technologies such as 3D printing, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality. The integration of these cutting-edge technologies into dental education helps prepare students for modern clinical challenges and enhances the quality of care provided to patients. In contrast, dental education in Ukraine is still evolving, with efforts to align more closely with international standards. Ukrainian dental education typically begins at the undergraduate level and lasts five years. Recent reforms are focused on integrating clinical practice earlier into the curriculum and improving accreditation processes. However, there are still challenges, such as limited access to advanced technologies and a shortage of clinical training resources. The article highlights the potential for Ukraine to benefit from the U.S. model of dental education by adopting international accreditation standards, developing simulation centers, and expanding professional development programs. Collaborative efforts between Ukrainian professional associations and international counterparts could help raise the quality of dental education and improve the overall standard of dental care in the country.
