Designed to offer lectures and hands-on learning experiences to dental professionals, it has been offered to graduate students at TMDU since 2016. Enrollment in the 4 hands-on sessions of the course in 2016 was 18, 13, 21, and 19; and in the 3 hands-on sessions of the course in 2017 was 14, 15, and 14, respectively. Post questionnaire-surveys were conducted following hands-on sessions to assess students’ overall satisfaction with the course, including explanations given by the instructors, session style, instructors’ English proficiency, materials and instruments, and the need for such a course in the participants’ home countries. The respondents provided favorable feedback for all the survey items, which revealed their learning interests and needs regarding clinical dental education, and the possible demand for this type of course internationally. Therefore, we can say that there is a significant need for courses like EECD, which provide life-long learning opportunities for dental professionals worldwide. There are plans to make the EECD course available worldwide someday in the future.}, pages = {123--130}, volume = {65}, year = {2018}, yomi = {セキ, ナオコ and カナザワ, マナブ and コマガミネ, ユリコ and ミズタニ, コウジ and ホサカ, ケイイチ and コマダ, ワタル and モロス, ジャネル and クロダ, シンジ and スナガ, マサヨ and カワグチ, ヨウコ and モリオ, イクコ and キノシタ, アツヒロ} }
