The purpose of this study was to investigate the satisfaction of Canadian orthodontic residents with their programs and determine the scope of their training. An anonymous online questionnaire was sent to all Canadian orthodontic residents in November 2006. Data were assembled and categorized by different variables, and chi-square comparative analyses were performed. Forty-four out of fifty-four residents responded, giving a participation rate of 81.48 percent. Overall, 86.36 percent of responding residents were satisfied with their program. Respondents said they felt they received the appropriate amount of formal didactic teaching sessions and dedicated and protected academic time. All residents indicated their programs offered training in numerous treatment philosophies: 93.18 percent said they have sufficient clinically based training, and 72.73 percent indicated that their research-based training was sufficient. All responding residents indicated they will complete more than thirty patients from start to finish, and 25 percent estimated completion of more than seventy patients by graduation. Residents said they will complete on average five orthognathic surgery, twenty-four extraction, thirty-one non-extraction, eight adult, and thirteen patients in the mixed dentition. Only 50 percent said their programs contained care for disabled or underserved patients. Most (86.36 percent) said they feel they will be adequately prepared to provide unsupervised orthodontic care after graduation. These orthodontic residents indicated they collaborate most with the disciplines of oral surgery, periodontics, and prosthodontics. However, only 52.27 percent indicated they have a formal interdisciplinary program for treating patients. We conclude from the study that Canadian orthodontic residents are satisfied with the didactic, clinical, and research aspects of their programs. They receive comprehensive instruction with the opportunity to complete a significant number of patients, employing a variety of treatment approaches.
本研究的目的是调查加拿大正畸住院医师对其培训项目的满意度，并确定他们的培训范围。2006年11月，一份匿名在线问卷被发送给了所有加拿大正畸住院医师。数据按不同变量进行汇总和分类，并进行卡方比较分析。54名住院医师中有44人回复，参与率为81.48%。总体而言，86.36%的回复住院医师对他们的项目感到满意。受访者表示，他们觉得自己接受了适量的正规理论教学课程以及专门的、受保护的学术时间。所有住院医师都表示他们的项目提供了多种治疗理念的培训：93.18%的人说他们有足够的临床培训，72.73%的人表示他们的研究培训足够。所有回复的住院医师都表示他们将从头到尾完成超过30例患者的治疗，25%的人估计毕业时能完成超过70例患者的治疗。住院医师们说他们平均将完成5例正颌手术、24例拔牙、31例不拔牙、8例成人患者以及13例混合牙列患者的治疗。只有50%的人说他们的项目包含对残疾或服务不足患者的护理。大多数人（86.36%）说他们觉得毕业后将有足够的准备去提供独立的正畸护理。这些正畸住院医师表示他们与口腔外科、牙周病学和修复学学科的合作最为密切。然而，只有52.27%的人表示他们有一个治疗患者的正规跨学科项目。我们从研究中得出结论，加拿大正畸住院医师对他们项目的理论、临床和研究方面感到满意。他们接受全面的指导，有机会采用多种治疗方法完成大量患者的治疗。
