Abstract

There is a wide range of careers available for the recently qualified dentist, and graduates need to know what the choices are and how a particular career pathway may be best accessed. Additional qualifications are often necessary; new graduates also need to be aware of the most useful postgraduate qualifications for their chosen path. Many young dentists would benefit from careers advice and should talk to colleagues working in the field in which they are interested.
