With the continuous improvement of people’s living standards, more and more people begin to pay attention to oral health care and nursing, and the demand for oral medicine talents increases.
In recent years, my country’s stomatology has developed rapidly. Oral medicine has experienced a development process from public medical institutions to private oral medical institutions. However, whether it is a public medical institution or a private dental hospital, without exception, there will be a shortage of talents.
On March 11, at the opening ceremony of No. 1 Dental Foshan General Hospital, orthodontist expert Li Lanchao, endodontist expert Xin Shaoqun, maxillofacial surgery expert Huang Youjun and other well-known oral experts in the province attended the meeting. Gathered in Nanhai Tianhe City to discuss the integration of traditional oral experience accumulation with modern technology and management innovation, and sparked new thinking sparks.
Ou Yao, President of Guangdong Private Dental Association, said that in recent years, the expansion of dental clinics in private dental medical institutions in China has exploded! But with it comes a shortage of professionals. The shortage of talents is the bottleneck restricting the development of the industry. Although a lot of capital has entered the dental industry in recent years, most of them have been invested in the downstream service field. The current situation is that the speed of cultivating an excellent dental doctor cannot keep up with the market demand at all.
“In some countries, there is an average of 2,000 people with a dentist. But in China, even in economically developed Guangdong, an average of 6,000 people have a dentist.” Ou Yao said that at present, the domestic medical There are too few opportunities for college students to receive systematic training after graduation. How to solve the practice of dental personnel has become a key to personnel training. “Because in addition to the theory of the oral cavity, hands-on ability is also very important. This includes early contact and early mastery of some international and domestic frontiers and new technologies.” At the same time, Ou Yao believes that the educational structure of stomatology should be based on market demand, from a single The middle and advanced stomatology majors are differentiated into different majors such as oral and maxillofacial surgery, dentistry, dental nurse, etc., to train clinical stomatologists of different professional levels for the different needs of community oral health services in my country.
“The development of the industry is ultimately the competition of talents. The most important thing in competition is the competition of talents. So I pay special attention to the team building and training of talents. I also pay special attention to the control of technology and quality. Only in this way can the team develop healthily. This is not something that can be done just by having money, it is not that easy, and it must be done well before it can expand.” said Zhang Xin, chairman of No.1 Dental.
It is understood that Zhang Xin has been working in the dental industry for more than 30 years, during which time he provided dental medical services for more than 130,000 local residents and patients from Hong Kong and Macao. She said that in recent years, the consumption level and health awareness of the common people have been continuously improved, and more people will pay attention to their oral health and aesthetics, which is mainly reflected in the major directions of dental implants, orthodontics, oral diseases and children’s oral health. , the market demand is increasing.
