The president of the College of Dentists, Orlando Monteiro da Silva defended today in Penafiel, the upper forming those health professionals to take back six years, reversing the Bologna recommendations. With Bologna, lost a sixth year, important in terms of clinical experience and integration of dentists in the labor market, he said, told Lusa. For the president, for that matter, there is a growing consensus within the profession and dental faculties.
Orlando Monteiro da Silva criticized the other hand, the fact that Portugal was too nimble to adopt the Bologna declaration, particularly in the area of health and dentistry. Revealing that, soon, in Coimbra, that the professional will discuss the issue with the Secretary of State for Higher Education, the president admitted that this meeting may leave an official document requesting the sixth year. Several European countries are below this line and we can not lag behind in this regard, he recalled.
The president of the College of Dentists in Penafiel spoke on the sidelines of a congress of the scientific society GIRSO, sponsored by the Cooperative Higher Education, Polytechnic and University (CESPU), which brings together dozens of oral health experts from several European countries. In this congress, the president of the organizer, Almeida Dias seized the opening session to defend the extension from five to six years in academic training of dentists. At Lusa, the president admitted that the extension to be replaced by a stage, if well structured and coordinated among all stakeholders, including colleges, hospitals, health centers and private practice of any profession.
The internship or a period of clinical internship can be very helpful, noted Lusa, defending, however, the introduction of clear rules. Orlando Monteiro da Silva noted that the new law of professional bodies, which is under review in Parliament, already provides a stage. I think this is an opportunity to take into account, he said.
The extension of training goes, insisted, build consensus for an activity of health, where the output too early to contact with the profession should be rethought and quality of dentistry and training.
