Professorial roles for dentists fall 8.3% since 2015

摘要

The BDA said that although there had been a 2.2% rise in the number of full-time clinical academic staff employed since 2016, dental schools were increasingly relying on part-time staff with a concentration in teaching posts over research. The workforce figures revealed a steady increase in employing part-time staff in the last five years, from 57% of the workforce in 2013 to 59% in 2017. The picture since 2004 was starker, when the less-than-full-time figure was 44%.
