ABSTRACT

This article is a continuation of the series of publications on the continuing professional development (CPD) of dentists, oral surgeons, and maxillofacial surgeons, updated according to the Order of the Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine of April 16, 2025, No. 650 “On approval of the Procedure for conducting certification of healthcare workers and amending certain orders of the Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine.” The purpose of this article is to translate the Order of the Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine of May 08, 2025, No. 781 “On approval of the Regulation on peer groups,” the understanding of which is necessary for understanding, organizing and conducting such a CPD event as participation in peer group activity, for which two CPD points are awarded. In general, peer group event is training on the principle of “peer to peer,” which involves the participation of healthcare workers who are equal in position, to increase the level of professional competence by discussing issues of their own professional activities/experience and the professional activities/experience of other healthcare workers. Considering the unique features of peer groups, we consider it appropriate to recommend that a wide range of dentists use this type of CPD.
