A snapshot of the U.S. postdoctoral pediatric dentistry faculty workforce, 2002.

This study characterizes the faculty shortage in U.S. postdoctoral pediatric dentistry (PD) education. The objectives of the study were to determine: 1) the changes in PD faculty numbers and teaching loads between 1995 and 2002 for postdoctoral PD education, 2) current faculty age and training, and 3) distribution of faculty by age. A questionnaire was sent in 2002 to fifty-four programs, of which forty-six responded (85 percent). Dental school and residency mean class sizes increased in the seven-year study period from 82.8 to 91.8 and from 6.0 to 8.5, respectively. Full- and part-time mean faculty positions increased as did vacancies, the latter growing from 15 to 38.9 and changing during the period from 5 to 10.8 percent of available positions. About one-third of programs used general dentists to teach PD, while programs using foreign-trained educators grew from 4 to 13 percent. Twenty-nine percent of full-time and 27 percent of part-time faculty are fifty-five years or older, and young entry-level faculty, age twenty-five to twenty-nine, represent only 2 percent and 5 percent of full- and part-time faculty respectively. Faculty vacancies have increased along with numbers of students and residents, and the largest segment of PD faculty is within a decade of retirement age.
