title: Preregistration and post graduate practice training period. FDI Working Group.
abstract: Working Group 14 has had formal meetings at FDI Congresses in Milan 1991, Berlin 1992 and Göteborg 1993 and this report was approved by the Commission at the Vancouver FDI World Dental Congress in 1994. At all stages the subject has attracted great interest and working group meetings have been well attended. The agreed terms of reference were: To collect information on practice training systems. To prepare an analytical report to assist those countries that would like to introduce a practice training period. During the early meetings it was quickly realised that no single system could be identified as the desirable global model and that an illustration of some systems currently operating would assist FDI member countries contemplating the commencement of a practice training scheme. To this extent the terms of reference have been fulfilled. This descriptive report makes no attempt to be definitive and there are, of necessity, some anecdotal elements within it.
