Atlas Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am
September 2024
Purpose: While the numbers of oral maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) residents increased over time, women and residents from underrepresented minority backgrounds are still underrepresented. The objectives were to assess dental students' OMFS-related personal and educational experiences and attitudes and explore which factors correlate with their interest in future OMFS careers.
Methods: Data were collected from 493 dental students in 1 dental school and 206 students from 15 other US and Canadian dental schools.
