A literature review was conducted to determine the state of the art of such process. A group of dentists of the province was interviewed to confirm the empiric existence of the problem and the records of the Department of the Teaching Secretary at Medical University were checked to determine the quantity of postgraduate courses that were taught in English Language with specific purposes to the dentists during the past five years.
