Community-based dental education (CBDE) may not significantly alter dental students' practice location intentions. However, students from rural backgrounds showed a stronger inclination to practice in rural areas post-rotation.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Public Health
  • Rural Health

Background:

  • Community-based dental education (CBDE) can influence educational outcomes and student behavior.
  • Understanding factors influencing dental students' practice location choices is crucial for addressing workforce needs, especially in rural areas.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the relationship between dental students' hometown size and their intended practice location.
  • To evaluate the impact of a rural community-based dental education rotation on students' practice location intentions.

Main Methods:

  • A pre- and post-rotation questionnaire survey was administered to fourth-year dental students.
  • 106 students completed the pre-rotation survey and 112 completed the post-rotation survey.
  • Data analyzed to determine changes in practice location intention after a four-week rural clinical rotation.

Main Results:

  • A slight, statistically insignificant increase in students intending to practice rurally was observed post-rotation (58.6% to 61.4%, p=0.984).
  • A statistically significant increase in rural practice intention was noted among female students (p=0.0413).
  • Students from rural hometowns demonstrated a consistent intention to practice in rural areas.

Conclusions:

  • Rural CBDE rotations did not significantly alter overall dental student practice location intentions.
  • Students with rural backgrounds are more likely to pursue rural practice.
  • Targeted recruitment strategies may be needed to increase rural practice among non-rural students.
