In Palestine, Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for dental professionals is guided by national guidelines established by the Ministry of Health. These guidelines ensure that dental practitioners engage in relevant learning activities to enhance their skills and knowledge. Dental education institutions, such as the Faculty of Dentistry at Al-Quds University, emphasize the importance of continuous learning and preparing competent dental professionals.
However, challenges remain, especially in areas like Gaza, where limited CPD opportunities and disorganized postgraduate programs have contributed to low morale among professionals. Overall, while a structured framework for CPD exists, the effectiveness of its implementation varies, and ongoing efforts are needed to address these challenges.
