Recruitment, Development, and Retention of Dental Faculty in a Changing Environment

Abstract: The scarcity of full-time clinical faculty members in dental schools across the country is a major crisis confronting dentistry. Dental schools are experiencing critical faculty shortages and are struggling to maintain appropriate faculty to student ratios. The adage of "doing more with less" applies, in many ways, to dental schools and their mission of educating future dentists. Solutions to the problem have included plans to recruit, develop, and mentor faculty members. However, progress has been slow. Denta… Show more

“…Similarly, incentive payments increased from $3191 to $11,153 per year. Based on this example from medical primary care, the order of incentive payment would not nearly close the salary gap between private practice and academia of $86,000 a year 1 .

“…Fields such as dentistry, nursing, and some areas of business (e.g., accounting) are also facing potential faculty shortages (Allan & Aldebron, 2008;Basil & Basil, 2006;Berlin & Sechrist, 2002;Carr, Ennis, & Baus, 2010;DeYoung, Bliss, & Tracy, 2002;Hinshaw, 2001; John et al, 2011; Trapnell, Mero, Williams, & Krull, 2009). Similar to CSD, these fields are concerned about aging faculty reaching retirement without having an adequate number of students in the pipeline to replace them (Allan & Aldebron, 2008;Berlin & Sechrist, 2002;Carr et al, 2010;Hinshaw, 2001;John et al, 2011;Trapnell et al, 2009). These fields also raise concerns about students' interests in obtaining doctoral degrees.…”
