Career paths and aspirations were investigated among postgraduate dental trainees on completion of clinical training at Tokyo Dental College between 2006, when clinical residency became mandatory, and 2011. Overall, those finding employment with independent general dental practitioners accounted for the majority (34%), followed by those entering postgraduate courses at the Chiba Hospital (20%), those embarking on a postgraduate clinical specialty course at the Chiba Hospital (16%), and those going on to other universities (7%). At the Chiba Hospital, the number selecting postgraduate courses, residency training (including further residency training or a postgraduate clinical specialty course), or employment with a general dental practitioner was almost the same; however, the number selecting postgraduate courses at the Suidobashi Hospital was low, showing a strong tendency toward becoming a general or clinical practitioner. At the Ichikawa General Hospital, most of the trainees decided to remain at the same school or hospital as postgraduate students or residents, showing an aspiration toward further specialization. The results of the Fisher's exact test showed a significant difference in career paths between the Chiba, Suidobashi, and Ichikawa General Hospitals. Trends among postgraduate dental trainees from this and other schools completing the clinical residency program here and subsequently entering postgraduate courses, further residency training, or a postgraduate clinical specialty course at this school were investigated. No major difference was observed in the percentage of trainees remaining at the same school or entering postgraduate courses between those from this and those from other schools; however, more trainees from other schools selected further residency training, while fewer selected a postgraduate clinical specialty course.
对2006年（临床住院医师培训成为强制性要求的年份）至2011年间在东京齿科大学完成临床培训的牙科研究生学员的职业道路和抱负进行了调查。总体而言，受雇于独立普通牙科医生的学员占大多数（34%），其次是进入千叶医院研究生课程的学员（20%）、在千叶医院开始研究生临床专科课程的学员（16%）以及进入其他大学的学员（7%）。在千叶医院，选择研究生课程、住院医师培训（包括进一步的住院医师培训或研究生临床专科课程）或受雇于普通牙科医生的人数几乎相同；然而，选择在水道桥医院攻读研究生课程的人数较少，显示出强烈的成为普通或临床医生的倾向。在市川综合医院，大多数学员决定作为研究生或住院医师留在同一学校或医院，表现出进一步专业化的抱负。费舍尔精确检验的结果显示，千叶、水道桥和市川综合医院之间的职业道路存在显著差异。对本校和其他学校完成临床住院医师培训计划并随后进入本校研究生课程、进一步住院医师培训或研究生临床专科课程的牙科研究生学员的趋势进行了调查。本校学员和其他学校学员留在同一学校或进入研究生课程的百分比没有观察到重大差异；然而，其他学校的学员选择进一步住院医师培训的更多，而选择研究生临床专科课程的更少。
