Re: DCI has made it mandatory for dentists to attend 20 seminars

[Anonymous]

I can understand the claim they make of continuing dental education but if they want to make it mandatory for the sake of our upgrading our knowledge why cant they do it at affordable rates ??
Attending 20 lectures a year, each costing more than 1500 each is ridiculous.. if they are doing it for our benefit and for purely upgrade of knowledge then why not get speakers who can do this noble job at lower prices…and who demands food at such places?what is the aim,the education or the food?? To give this excuse itself shows its a money garnering affair

I think the only way to deal with this is to get a middle way.We should protest if our conditions are not met..we dont mind attending conferences but all wont be able to pay such hefty sums!!
Conduct conferences at nominal rates and reduce it from 20 conferences a year…We need a strong leader to represent this part and get a right way out of this.
