The standard of newly qualified dental graduates - foundation trainer perceptions.

Abstract:

:Background There have been anecdotal concerns that the skill mix of recently qualified graduates is very different to those qualifying several years ago, in particular that the clinical skills on qualification are less. If true, such changes may have ramifications for providers of undergraduate training, postgraduate training, particularly at foundation training level, and ultimately the public.Aim The aim of this study was to assess changes in perceived standards of newly qualified graduates as reported by foundation trainers.Method A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a self-completed internet-based survey tool sent to all foundation trainers (FTs) in England, Northern Ireland and Wales.Results A total of 312 responses were obtained covering all postgraduate deaneries. There was mixed opinion regarding standards of new graduates, with 51% reporting that the overall standard of those entering foundation training was 'unsatisfactory'. Standards in key clinical areas were considered unsatisfactory by large proportions of respondents. Eighty-five percent considered standards to be unsatisfactory in 'crown and bridge', 75% in 'extraction of teeth', 74% in endodontics, 67% in removable prosthodontics, and 62% in treatment planning. Experienced trainers identified a decline in standards in particular clinical areas.Conclusions A large proportion of foundation trainers consider the current standard of new graduates to be unsatisfactory for entering foundation training. There are a number of key clinical areas of concern and a perception of declining standards.
