Purpose:
The goal of the survey was to identify the desired characteristics of recently graduated oral surgeons entering private practice in Connecticut and compare these results to a similar study conducted earlier in New Jersey.
Materials And Methods:
An anonymous survey was mailed to all active members of the Connecticut Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons in February 2010. The response rate for the survey was 63%, with 69 of 110 surveys returned.
Conclusions:
The most valued characteristics of a new associate included board certification; clinical competence in dentoalveolar surgery, anesthesia, and implant surgery; and personal character. These results paralleled the results of the New Jersey survey.
