Abstrakt: Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine the impact of residency training institutions on the pursuit of a career in academic oral and maxillofacial surgery and assess variables associated with academic productivity.
Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of full-time academic oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMSs) in the United States. The primary predictor variable was program of residency training. Secondary predictors included gender, fellowship training, advanced degrees, and private practice affiliation. The primary outcome variable was the number of graduates in a ful-time academic position. Academic productivity (h-index, publication number) was a secondary outcome. Descriptive, logistic and linear regression analyses were computed.
Results: The study sample consisted of 294 full-time academic OMSs in 82 training programs. The top 10 high-output residency programs were identified and graduates from these programs were more likely to have a medical degree (OR = 1.99, 9% CI: 1.17 - 3.36, p=0.0108), higher h-indices (11.03 vs 7.96, p = 0.0032) and higher number of publications (40.3 vs 25.6, p = 0.003). Faculty characteristics associated with higher h-indices included a medical degree (10.33 vs 7.66, p = 0.0067), PhD (15.23 vs 8.38, p = 0.0002), MPH (17.47 vs 8.66, p = 0.0040) and fellowship training (11.15 vs 7.76, p = 0.0012). There were no significant differences between genders in having a medical degree, completing a subspecialty fellowship, or academic productivity. Female surgeons represented 16.33% of academic OMSs and were more likely to have entered academia more recently based on duration in years of academic appointment (12.48 versus 21.08; p < 0.001).
Conclusions: Ten programs have trained 29.6% (n = 87) of all full-time academic OMSs. These programs' graduates were more likely to have a medical degree, higher h-indices, and greater number of publications.
