“…This may reflect on previous findings that a large proportion of Dental Foundation Trainers thought that new graduates have 'poor' or 'very poor' training in practice management skills. 14 Remaining as an associate long-term was more popular with females and this may reflect the later responses given on family life.…”

Aim: To investigate the career intentions, work-life balance and retirement plans of dental undergraduates at the University of Bristol in 2015.Method: Cross-sectional survey of 210 clinical undergraduates using an anonymous self-report questionnaire. Results:The response rate was 79%. The majority (81.7%) were 'satisfied' or 'extremely satisfied' with their choice of career. The majority (78.7%) felt men and women are equally likely to succeed in dentistry, although 42.9% felt men had an advantage over women with regards to career success. The majority (81.6%) intend on working within general practice, 11.3% within hospital dental services and 2.1% within community dental services. The majority (70.5%) intend on specialising within dentistry. Only 1.8% of participants intend on providing only National Health Service (NHS) dental treatment whereas the 86.5% would provide both NHS and private dental treatment. Fifteen years after qualifying, 52.2% plan to work part-time, and 37.8% intend on retiring at the age of 60 or below. The majority (86.6%) felt that childcare should be shared equally between both parents. Female students intend on taking more time out of their career to concentrate on childcare and felt that having a child would affect their career more. Conclusion:The anticipated career plans, work-life balance and retirement plans of undergraduates change over time, and further research should be carried out to monitor future career intentions of dental students in order to help with future dental workforce planning.3

“…32 With this in mind it is hardly surprising that more recent surveys of new UK graduates have shown a large proportion of students felt they required greater training and practical experience in root canal treatment as an undergraduate. 33,34 In a study by Stewardson et al 35 it was established that confi dence levels of graduates correlate with the number of cases completed as an undergraduate. Gaining confi dence to use the acquired practical skills and knowledge should be at the heart of any curriculum and it seems clear that assessing practical competence alone does not guarantee a graduate who is comfortable using their skills.…”

“…Bien que nous n'ayons pas démontré les qualités psychométriques de validité et de fidélité de notre questionnaire par rapport au référentiel de compé-tences à évaluer, nous postulons que le mode de construction de ce questionnaire, à partir d'un réper-toire de compétences établi à l'issue d'une recherche méthodique de consensus, lui confère une certaine validité de construit. Cette limite étant admise, l'éva-luation du sentiment de compétence au moyen d'une EVA permet d'attribuer une valeur numérique au sentiment de compétence perçu par rapport à chaque capacité ou habileté et peut permettre une analyse plus fine des résultats, ce qui n'est pas toujours possible avec d'autres types d'échelles comme celles de type Likert à plusieurs niveaux, souvent utilisées lors d'études comparables [6,10,11] . Bien que certaines études dans le domaine de l'odontologie tendent à affirmer que le processus d'auto-évaluation pourrait offrir un certain intérêt dans les mécanismes d'apprentissage de l'étudiant [12,13] , des revues de synthèse récentes montrent que la capacité d'autoévaluation des étudiants et des professionnels de santé est médiocre [5,14] .…”

“…Ceci devrait donc sensibiliser le corps enseignant à modifier les techniques d'apprentissage pratiquées au sein du service afin de rendre beaucoup plus évidente pour l'étudiant la vision globale du patient. En 2006, Patel [10] avait déjà remarqué, dans une étude similaire à la nôtre, que 56 % des maîtres de stage avaient estimé que cette capacité était insuffisamment enseignée au cours des années d'études.…”

Influence du stage actif chez le praticien sur le sentiment de compétence professionnelle de l'étudiant en chirurgie dentaire Contribution of private practice training on the self-efficacy belief of French dental surgery students Abstract -Context: A mandatory training period in a private practice was implemented in the curriculum of the French dental students during the 2007-2008 academic year. At the Clermont-Ferrand dental school, final year students practice full-time under the supervision of a dental practitioner for two months. Aim: The aim of this study is to show the potential role of this period on the self-assessed competency perceived by students concerning their professional skills. Methods: Each student of a same cohort (n = 42) self-assessed his/her level of performance on a non graduated visual analogue scale. 52 professional skills defined by the European thematic network DentEd were thus assessed. This self-evaluation was performed three times : at the end of the fifth year (D3) and during the final year of studies (T1) before and after the training period. The trainers who supervised the students assessed them using the same scale. Results: When comparing the results of the three self-assessments with statistical tests, our study showed a real positive impact of the training period on the self-efficacy belief concerning professional skills such as financial and administrative management of a private practice, sterilization of material, management of staff and development of a multidisciplinary treatment plan. For most skills, there is no significant difference between the students' and the trainers' assessments. Conclusion: A training period in a private practice allows dental students to feel more competent concerning professional skills which are generally difficult to master in a hospital environment.
