MODERN SYSTEM OF DENTAL EDUCATION IN THE KYRGYZ REPUBLIC
Today, dentistry is the most dynamically developing branch of medicine, which requires skills in modern technologies and materials, as well as knowledge of the latest achievements of dental science and practice. In this regard, there is a need to develop and create a modern concept of an innovative educational program in the specialty "Dentistry" - 560004, reflecting the urgent needs of practical health care in the Kyrgyz Republic. The practice of domestic dentistry shows the missing fundamental principles of innovative and health-saving technologies in educational standards, necessary for mastering the modern profession of a dentist. Analysis of the historical aspects of the development of dental education in the country greatly highlights the importance of modernization of the professional training of dentists at the undergraduate and post-graduate level of education, as well as at the stage of continuing development. At the same time, the content of the state educational standards of the 5-year dental education in the Kyrgyz Republic must be harmonized with the European system and reconsidered taking into account the curriculum modules that comply with the principles of the Bologna Declaration. Naturally, the harmonization of the educational process in the specialty "Dentistry" - 560004 should be carried out taking into account the historical traditions established in the health care and education, as well as the socio-economic policy of the Kyrgyz state.
