Abstract
To determine the views of current dental clinical academic trainees regarding their current posts. Online questionnaire emailed to 51 dental academic trainees. Survey results were collected over a six-week period. Eighteen closed statement questions were included using a five-point scale from 'strongly agree' to 'strongly disagree'. All questions had a section for open text comments. The response rate for the survey was 73%. A total of 38% were male and 62% female. Just under half of the sample (43%) had a higher teaching qualification. The majority of trainees were from oral surgery (22%), closely followed by restorative and dental public health (both 14%). The main reason trainees stated for choosing an academic post was to be involved in research (68%). The majority of dental clinical academic trainees would recommend a career in academia. The majority of dentistry's academic trainees (73%) would recommend an academic career to their peers, a positive change in the culture of modern clinical academia.
