Development of the "hybrid-type dental clinician with an international perspective and leadership"

We provide education to the undergraduate and graduate schools of Kyushu Dental University based on the policy of nurturing the "hybrid-type dental clinician with an international perspective and leadership". The hybrid-type dental clinician is "a dental clinician who engages in daily clinical practice with a research mindset" - in other words, a clinician who practices evidence-based dentistry who is personally able to generate clinically relevant evidence on a needs basis. Further, we consider it essential to develop clinicians who can think with an international perspective and play an important role as leaders in organizations and communities.
