Recent dental graduates often lack solo private practice readiness. A one-year fellowship program bridges this gap by integrating clinical and business training in general dentistry and public health settings.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Public Health Dentistry
  • Dental Practice Management

Background:

  • Surveys reveal recent dental graduates are unprepared for independent private practice.
  • A significant educational gap exists between academic training and the realities of solo practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a voluntary one-year extramural fellowship program.
  • To enhance the readiness of new dental graduates for private practice through a non-traditional setting.

Main Methods:

  • Established a voluntary one-year extramural fellowship program at Oregon Health Sciences University School of Dentistry.
  • Program requires fellows to spend 80% time in general dentistry and 20% in public service.
  • Preceptor dentists provide a competitive stipend and mentorship.

Conclusions:

  • The fellowship program successfully prepares dental graduates for private practice.
  • Addresses the critical need for practical business and clinical experience beyond formal education.
  • Offers mutual benefits for fellows and preceptor dentists, fostering practice growth and mentorship.
