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?
