Minority female dentists: a synopsis.
This pilot study identified a group of minority female dentists who are relatively young to the dental profession. In general, these individuals are enthusiastic about a career in dentistry. Career contentment is evinced by the reported level of satisfaction with the dental profession, irrespective of educational indebtedness or annual income. Of those who are dissatisfied, it seems as if income and debt are not the primary areas of concern. These findings provide an impetus for a more comprehensive investigation of this emerging population of dentists.
