Dentist licence (DDS/DMD)

有多少人拿着这个

202,485 professionally active dentists in the United States — 2024, the last year in the ADA series, published 2025.

我们没有将这一百分比变为一个百分比。 We hold a sound count of dentists and a sound count of employed dentists and we are not dividing one into the other, because federal employment data counts employees and most dentists are self-employed practice owners. The ratio would read as though a third of dentists were not working in dentistry, and what it would actually measure is how many of them own the practice rather than being paid by one. 这两种计算都本身是有道理的,而且都在上下公布。 将它们区分开来,可以得出一个数字,写成“在现场工作的持单人的份额 ”, 而不是一个数字,所以我们公布这两个数字,让他们站出来。

包括: People, from the ADA's masterfile, and already filtered to those whose primary occupation is dentistry — private practice, dental school faculty, armed forces and federal services, state and local government, hospital staff, residents and interns. It EXCLUDES retired dentists, dentists not in practice or waiting for boards, and anyone whose main job is something else. That filtering makes it a different kind of count from most on this site: it is closer to a workforce than to a registry, which is exactly why we do not divide employment into it.

The ADA count is also filtered differently from most credential registries on this site: it already excludes retired dentists and those not in practice, so it is closer to a workforce count than to a register of everyone who ever qualified. Two counts that are each right, measuring populations that do not line up, is precisely the case where publishing the pair and refusing the percentage is the honest answer.

完成四年后,从联邦记录

约 7,918 完成学业的人 Dentistry (DDS/DMD), first professional degree 四年之后,他不再学习, 210 没有任何记录显示收入的 & mdash; 2.7%. 工作工人的中位数 $170,812, 中间半介于 $110,187 和 $239,976.

“没有记录收入”不是“失业”。 衡量标准是没有任何工资记录和全年任何积极的自营职业收入,没有人被问及他们是否想要工作,因此,计数员将那些选择离开劳动力队伍的人——抚养子女、照顾子女、旅行、靠别人的收入生活、移居国外——与所有想要工作而没有工作的所有人一起关押,没有人公布这种分配,我们不会猜测它。它确实确定有多少人完成了这种培训,而且没有从中挣到任何收入,或者四年内从其他任何收入中挣到任何收入,这正是上面的工资数字无法告诉你的。

方案代码包括的内容: CIP 51.04 at first-professional level is the DDS and DMD. It does not include dental hygiene or dental assisting, which are CIP 51.06 and appear separately. Specialty residencies taken after the degree are also outside it.

谁是组: 接受联邦学生援助的全科学生——大约一半的美国本科生,另一半则不在此计量。 继续深造的人没有列。 教育部压制那些人数太少、无法公布和增加统计噪音的机构,因此,这是足够大、足以举报的机构的总数: 53 恢复的 98.6% 将新闻部对这一方案的本国计算。 减少最小的报告方案 0.0 百分点。
