title: The potential and costs of videoconferencing in dental education, dental vocational training and MFDS preparation.
abstract: This paper considers the potential role of videoconferencing technology for postgraduate dental and medical education. Drawing on work from the University of Bristol Dental School, it presents an analysis of the potential cost savings achievable by using videoconferencing compared to traditional face-to-face teaching across a range of scenarios. A summary of the feedback from trainees is also provided.
