    Most graduates from the advanced general dentistry program pursued general practice. Better performance in the advanced program correlated with advanced degrees, research, or teaching careers for dentists.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental Education and Career Pathways
    • Postgraduate Training in General Dentistry

    Background:

    • Understanding career trajectories of dentists after advanced training is crucial for program evaluation and future curriculum development.
    • The Eastman Dental Center's advanced program in general dentistry aimed to prepare dentists for diverse career roles.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the career paths of graduates from an advanced general dentistry program over a decade (1971-1981).
    • To identify factors predicting specialization, advanced degrees, teaching, or research involvement post-graduation.

    Main Methods:

    • A mail survey was conducted among graduates of the Eastman Dental Center's advanced general dentistry program.
    • Data collected covered the ten-year period from 1971 to 1981.
    • Analysis focused on practice type, specialization, advanced degrees, teaching, and research involvement.

    Main Results:

    • 63.2% of graduates practiced general dentistry; specialization decreased in later years.
    • Dental school performance did not predict specialization or involvement in advanced degrees/teaching.
    • Higher performance in the advanced general dentistry program correlated with pursuing advanced degrees, research, or teaching.

    Conclusions:

    • The advanced general dentistry program primarily led to general practice careers.
    • Performance within the advanced program is a better indicator of engagement in academic or research pursuits than prior dental school performance.
    • Over half of the graduates were involved in teaching (55%), and a significant portion in research (35%).
