Based on the collaborative research, faculty / student exchange, acceptance of international students, and
academic relationship with Southeast Asia, Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) started a new project
titled “Project for Promoting Global Dental Education and Research Bases to
Southeast
Asia”. This project will promote:
1) International Faculty Development Course (IFDC)
2) International PhD programs for dental faculty in Southeast Asia
3) Educational foundation for harmonizing dental education in Southeast Asia
so that we can offer life-long learning opportunities for dental professionals all over the world, achieve
harmonization in dental education and develop a postgraduate program for dental faculty, which cultivates
strength to compete in an international arena and expand TMDU’s global network.
In Academic Year 2020, the International Faculty Development Course (IFDC) with the purpose of introducing
TMDU’s expertise in clinical dental education was opened. IFDC AY2020 needed to be re-designed to an online
version because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though it was our first time for the new version, we could
welcome participants from abroad.
This course for clinical, research and dental education offers up-to-date dental clinical knowledge and
techniques that are often publicized in journals or books.
IFDC is now available to the world.
