The purpose of this study was to describe the criteria used by advanced education in prosthodontic program (AEPP) directors to select their residents, to rank them by perceived importance, and further assist prospective candidates with the application process for AEPP.
Questionnaires were distributed to all prosthodontic program directors (N = 46). The program directors were requested to respond in five sections: (1) general information, (2) information obtained from applications and letters of recommendation, (3) interview process, (4) decision process, and (5) retrospective view of the selection process. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Data were collected and compiled into mean, standard deviation, and range. Results were tabulated and ranked.
Thirty-eight responses (82.61%) were returned and analyzed. Most of the programs (75.77%) indicated that a combination of the program director, current residents, prosthodontic faculty, and staff members were involved in conducting the interview process. Factors considered very important when choosing applicants to the prosthodontic program were (1) interview process, (2) dental school class rank, (3) dental school grades (prosthodontics), (4) letters of recommendation, (5) dental school grades (clinical). Letters from the prosthodontic post-doc program director and prosthodontic faculty were considered the most important source of recommendation. Honesty, organization, and energy were ranked as the most positive characteristics of the applicants during the interview. Almost all respondents (97%) were satisfied with the current selection process. When asked about the current applicant pool, most program directors (91.67%) were satisfied.
The most and least important factors in selecting applicants by the program directors were described and ranked. This study was intended to provide the profession with some insight on how advanced Prosthodontic programs select their applicants. It may also serve as a valuable instrument for prospective applicants to AEPPs in the future.
本研究旨在描述高级口腔修复学教育项目（AEPP）主任选择学员的标准，按重要性对其进行排序，并进一步帮助潜在申请人了解 AEPP 的申请流程。
向所有口腔修复学项目主任（N=46）分发问卷。要求项目主任在五个部分回答问题：（1）一般信息，（2）从申请和推荐信中获取的信息，（3）面试流程，（4）决策过程，以及（5）对选拔过程的回顾。使用描述性统计分析数据。数据以平均值、标准差和范围进行分析。结果以表格和排名形式呈现。
38 份（82.61%）回复被分析。大多数项目（75.77%）表示，项目主任、现任居民、口腔修复学教师和工作人员共同参与面试过程。在选择口腔修复学项目的申请人时，被认为非常重要的因素包括：（1）面试过程，（2）牙学院年级排名，（3）牙学院成绩（口腔修复学），（4）推荐信，（5）牙学院成绩（临床）。来自口腔修复学博士后项目主任和口腔修复学教师的推荐信被认为是最重要的推荐来源。在面试过程中，诚实、组织能力和活力被评为申请人最积极的特征。几乎所有受访者（97%）对当前的选拔过程感到满意。当被问及当前的申请人群体时，大多数项目主任（91.67%）感到满意。
描述和排名了项目主任在选择申请人时最重要和最不重要的因素。本研究旨在为专业人士提供一些有关高级口腔修复学项目如何选择学员的见解。它也可能成为未来申请 AEPP 的潜在申请人的宝贵工具。
