The gender, racial and ethnic makeup of dental school graduates and advanced dental education program students is undergoing changes that to some extent mirror the developments in the general population. There have been marked decreases in the ratio of white dental school graduates to the white population, but limited changes in the ratio of minority group graduates to their respective national populations. Compared to their representation in dental schools, women and minority group graduates are under-represented in specialty training programs, with wide variations by specialty fields. There have been marked decreases in the proportion of dental school graduates whose immediate plans include self-employment practice and increases in the proportion anticipating some form of employment.
牙科学院毕业生以及高级牙科教育项目学生的性别、种族和族裔构成正在发生变化，在一定程度上反映了总体人口的发展情况。白人牙科学院毕业生与白人人口的比例显著下降，但少数族裔毕业生与各自民族人口的比例变化有限。与在牙科学院中的占比相比，女性和少数族裔毕业生在专科培训项目中的占比不足，不同专科领域差异很大。计划立即自主开业的牙科学院毕业生比例显著下降，而预期某种形式就业的比例有所上升。
