OBJECTIVE:To determine the level of student drop-out from UK dental schools and to establish if drop-out is increasing, remaining steady or decreasing.

DESIGN:Retrospective analysis of data from the University Statistical Record.

SETTING:UK dental schools 1989-1994.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS:The data covered all dental students entering and leaving dental schools during the relevant time period.

RESULTS:The drop-out rate from UK dental schools between 1989 and 1994 ranged from 8.4% to 16.8% and is equivalent to the output of two to three medium-sized dental schools. Drop-out rate was higher in the three most recent years studied (1992-1994; 14.8%) than in the three earliest years studied (1989-1991; 10.6%).

CONCLUSIONS:Student drop-out is a significant and increasing problem for UK dental schools. Unless controlled, it will result in fewer dentists qualifying in the UK and exacerbate shortages in qualified dentists that may occur in future years.

目标:确定英国牙科学校的学生辍学水平,并确定辍学率是在增加,保持稳定还是下降。

设计 >:回顾性分析大学统计记录中的数据。

设置:英国牙科学校,1989-1994年。

主题与方法 :该数据涵盖了相关时间段内所有进入和离开牙科学校的牙科学生。

结果:1989年至1994年期间,英国牙科学校的辍学率在8.4%之间达到16.8%,相当于两到三所中等牙科学校的产出。研究的最近三年(1992-1994; 14.8%)的辍学率高于研究的最早三年(1989-1991; 10.6%)。

结论 >:对于英国牙科学校来说,学生辍学是一个严重且日益严重的问题。除非得到控制,否则将导致在英国获得资格的牙医减少,并加剧未来几年可能出现的合格牙医短缺。
