This study examined Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon (OMS) workforce issues in relation to current training in Australia and New Zealand. Earlier findings identified that there was a requirement of approximately 6 additional OMS specialists per year in Australia and one per year in New Zealand to maintain an adequate level of supply in the profession. It was found in this study that through to the early part of the next decade the number of OMS entering the Australian workforce is appropriate (5.9 per annum), but there would appear to be concerns about the sufficiency of the number entering the New Zealand workforce (0.7 per annum). In addition, the study also found possible maldistribution in the location of intended future practices, with possible shortages outside of the metropolitan areas.
本研究探讨了澳大利亚和新西兰口腔颌面外科医生（OMS）劳动力问题与当前培训的关系。早期研究结果表明，澳大利亚每年大约需要新增6名OMS专科医生，新西兰每年需要新增1名，以维持该行业充足的供应水平。本研究发现，到下一个十年初期，进入澳大利亚劳动力市场的OMS数量是合适的（每年5.9名），但进入新西兰劳动力市场的人数是否充足似乎令人担忧（每年0.7名）。此外，该研究还发现，未来预期执业地点可能存在分布不均的情况，大都市以外地区可能存在短缺。
