In this descriptive survey, the study sample included 39 dental students who entered university in 2011 and 2012. The required data were collected through a reliable and valid questionnaire using census sampling technique. Data were analyzed by SPSS 16 software. The administered training program obtained a high efficiency with a mean score of 57.8±9.5; However, there was no significant correlation between the mean of scores obtained by students and the mean score of efficiency of the given program (r=0.015, P=0.95).
