e-Learning Dentistry: Good for the Filipino?
01. Computerization, Internet, Distance Education are present-day facts of life to the Filipino Counterparts in the EU, USA, and other select countries. Unfortunately, I surmise no more than 10% of Filipino Dentists & Dental Technicians would have Computers in their respective WorkPlaces - and no more than 10% of those owning computers find use of the Internet in their work. Hence, how could (and when would) e-Learning become accessible to Filipinos wanting to keep pace with the rest of the World?
02. Sadly, e-Learning Modules (relative to ADA/NADL-certified Dental CE Courses) appear unavailable to Filipinos. Is the Private Sector (Philippine Dental Association - PDA) &/or the Public Sector (Professional Regulatory Commission - PRC) making any representation with their USA Counterparts? Would a Joint Private-Public Representation be ideal? If so, when & how would this come about?

Im glad that someone like you (a non-dental practitioner at that) has finally raised the issue about the current plight of the dental profession in the Philippines...I hope that many more of my collegues will be able to view your blog and learn a thing or two about the present situation of our profession...More power, and may your blog serve as a wake-up call to all of us to advocate major changes in our current situation and make "Dentistry by Filipinos" at par with the best in the world...Goodluck and Godbless po

Thanks for your kind words. Perhaps, you and I together can somehow help bring about a better world for Filipino Dentists wherever they are - here or abroad.
