Abstract

This study examined the perception of entry into the labor market of graduates from a School of Dentistry in southern Brazil. An online questionnaire with eleven open and closed questions was created using Google Forms and applied to recently graduated dentists in an educational institution in southern Brazil. The questionnaire asked questions about the entry into the labor market and the professional practice of recent graduates. The data collected in the questionnaires were transferred to an Excel® spreadsheet and analyzed using absolute and relative frequency for closed questions and descriptive statistics for open questions. Most respondents felt that they were technically qualified for the labor market, considering familiarity with the materials and equipment available, and personally well prepared. Integrated clinics, Dental Specialties Centers of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS), extension courses and internships were listed as factors that promoted teamwork and integrated experiences in the various dental specialties.
