The first externship program with the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, Canada was performed. Four dental students and two teachers attended the program, in which they experienced lectures, clinics, and problem-based learning (PBL). The summary of the program is reported here for the following reasons. 1: This is the first overseas study program for 6^<th> grade-students. 2: The period of the program is longer than that of other programs of our college. 3: This is the first overseas education program with an English-speaking country. We also performed a questionnaire survey before and after the excursion to examine the change of students' knowledge and consciousness. Teachers learned the difference between the education systems of both colleges, and the different points are reported in this article. Students were found to have obtained knowledge on the clinical and education system of Canada. They also established a mutual understanding with the UBC students. By comparing the answers of the questionnaires before and after the program, the students were found to have obtained more self-confidence in English conversation. Other attitudes and consciousness were also found to be improved. From these results, the first externship program with the UBC was a fruitful one.
