Dentists who have graduated recently from a Dutch dental school work mainly in the Netherlands, where collaboration and differentiation are relevant factors. Furthermore, the Netherlands face regional undersupplies of dentists. The objective of this study was to describe choices and aims of recently graduated dentists for the near future.
An invitation for the web questionnaire was sent by e-mail to 945 dentists who had graduated from a Dutch dental school between 2013 and 2017, of whom 230 (24.3%) participated in the survey.
Approximately three quarters (77%) of the recently graduated dentists worked as a general dentist in a practice of some else, primarily in urban areas. The choice for a practice was affected by location, earnings, and the opportunity to gain experience. Furthermore, the career choices were affected most by the desired length of the working week and financial security. The narrow majority (53%) of the recently graduated dentists believed that in 5 years they will be practice owner; 49% expected to be a differentiated dentist. Furthermore, 41% believed they will work in a smaller municipality.
Although recently graduated dentists seem receptive to work in smaller municipalities, the peripheral regions are conceivably less appealing. Practice ownership conceivably is an option for the near future for a narrow majority of the recently graduated dentists.
Recently graduated dentists have different preferences regarding their work situation in 5 years.
最近从荷兰牙科学院毕业的牙医主要在荷兰工作，在荷兰，合作和分化是相关因素。此外，荷兰面临着牙医区域性短缺的问题。本研究的目的是描述最近毕业的牙医在不久的将来的选择和目标。
通过电子邮件向 2013 年至 2017 年间从荷兰牙科学院毕业的 945 名牙医发出了网络问卷调查邀请，其中 230 名（24.3%）参与了调查。
最近毕业的牙医中，约四分之三（77%）作为一名全科牙医在他人的诊所工作，主要在城市地区。选择诊所的因素受到地点、收入和获得经验的机会的影响。此外，职业选择最受理想工作周长度和经济保障的影响。最近毕业的牙医中，略多于一半（53%）的人认为，在 5 年内，他们将成为诊所的所有者；49%的人希望成为一名有区别的牙医。此外，41%的人认为他们将在较小的自治市工作。
尽管最近毕业的牙医似乎愿意在较小的自治市工作，但外围地区可能吸引力较小。对大多数最近毕业的牙医来说，拥有自己的诊所可能是他们在不久的将来的一个选择。
最近毕业的牙医对他们在未来 5 年内的工作情况有不同的偏好。
