Abstract

In Dentistry, management and leadership seem to play an increasingly important role in facing the new challenges of the dental market. This study aimed to verify the personal profile for professional practice and the perception of management and entrepreneurship of students who attended the last year of Faculty of Dentistry, University of São Paulo, upon completion of the course of management and strategic planning in dentistry, for entering the labor market. A quantitatively and qualitatively descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. A questionnaire with open and closed questions was applied to 109 students who attended the course of management and strategic planning in dentistry. This course had 109 students enrolled, and for this research, 107 (98.17%) answered the questionnaire. The average age was 25 years, and 70.09 % were female; 63.55% said they have a good knowledge of themselves. When asked whether they knew some personal characteristics of dentists who have achieved success, 50.47% answered positively; 61.68% of students considered themselves organized, and 54.21% believed in being able to lead others. In the personal and professional profiles of students, it was possible to identify characteristics of leadership and optimism that they possessed about their professional future. Most of the students could incorporate attitudes and values that were covered by the course of management and strategic planning in dentistry. Additionally, the majority of them considered the knowledge acquired during this course while planning their professional careers.
