Abstract
The objective of this study was to analyse the perception of the practical value of their training experience for 4 groups of alumni graduated between 1986 and 1989 at the Faculty of Odontology, University Paris 5. The 240 participants (45% response rate) perceived their training to have been adequate with respect to procedural activities. On the other hand, the graduates expressed a desire for more emphasis in emergencies, interpersonal relationship, office management and such clinical topics as fixed prosthodontics, surgery and periodontics. Surveys aimed at alumni may be useful for the evaluation of programme results and to determine which items should be added or deleted according to either health criteria or the conditions of dental practice.
