The article analyzes, compares and summarizes the curricula for masters in dentistry used in medical universities of the EU countries and O. Bohomolets National Medical University. A comparative analysis of European and national universities’ curricula revealed that the professional training of masters in dentistry in medical universities of Ukraine and in European countries has significant differences in both content and organizational context. Curricula for professional training of future dentists in European universities differ in the number of disciplines and ECTS credits allocated for their study. Comparing of syllabi in NMU and EU countries allowed to state that the main differences consists in their intensity. It is established that the workload of students of national medical universities is very high on account of the large number of humanities and socio-economic disciplines, while European students have only two socio-economic disciplines in the program. Comparative analysis of curricula of national and European universities made it possible to determine the main tasks of reforming the system of dental education, particularly: improving the quality of medical education, ensuring its continuity and consistency throughout the period of professional activity; reducing the workload on students; providing the optimal ratio of theoretical and practical training with increasing emphasis on clinical and practical training.
