Purpose: to compare the results of quantitative and qualitative indicators of dental education of interns and students of the post-graduate education faculty of Danylo Halytskyi Lviv National Medical University.
Materials and methods. In a comparative study, 129 doctors-interns from the primary specialization cycle on the specialty “Stomatology” and 113 doctors-listeners of the pre-certification cycle “Stomatology” took part from the Western region. The study was carried out in the form of blank test using 80 test questions from the open booklet spring of 2016 “KROK-3. Dentistry”. Statistical processing of materials was carried out using the computer program Statistica 10.0.
Results. The greatest difference between the percentages of interns and doctors who listened successfully to individual subtasks was observed in testing for the subtest category P.8 “Inflammatory diseases of the maxillofacial area», in which the percentage of interns who made the subtest was 2.32 times higher than the corresponding the indicator among listeners (86.8±1.45) % versus (39.7±2.45) %, p <0.001), and the lowest (1.56 times) – when tested for the subtest category P.13 “Complication that arise due to dental interventions” (86.8±1.38) % vs. (55.5±2.53) %, p <0.001). The average percentage of the test for doctors with a work experience of up to 5 years was (50.36±1.38) %. The lowest result was established by doctors-listeners with a work experience of 5–10 years (32.69±4.88) %. Concerning the difficulties that they encountered during the test, (96.5±1.74) % (109 persons) of the interviewed doctors-listeners indicated that the most difficult was to distinguish answers to questions on the degree of their correctness. According to (84.1±3.44) % of the respondents (95 people), they were not ready to be tested.
Conclusions. A comparative study of the quantitative and qualitative indicators of dental education at the postgraduate stage of the training made it possible to find out the absence of the majority of dental doctors with experience of 16 years or more, the skills of this exam. There is a significant regress of the indicators of the preparation of this test among doctors-students with experience in the field of dentistry 5 years or more. Since preparation of doctors for appropriate postgraduate education courses requires a certain amount of time, we believe that in the next 5 years the level of complexity of the exam for practicing doctors should be simpler than “KROK 3. Dentistry” for graduates of medical universities.
