Amaç. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Covid-19 pandemisinin bir grup Türk diş hekimliği öğrencisinin
kariyer planlaması ve uzmanlık alanı tercihine etkisini ve buna etki eden faktörleri
irdelemektir.

Gereç ve Yöntem. Çalışmaya X Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi’nden 305 gönüllü
öğrenci katıldı. Öğrencilere açık uçlu ve çoktan seçmeli toplam 44 soruluk bir anket formu
gönderildi. Ankette Covid-19 öncesi ve sonrası kariyer planları, uzmanlık alanı tercihleri ve
bunlara etki eden faktörler sorgulandı.

Bulgular. Covid-19 salgınıyla öğrencilerin %23,3’ünün kariyer planında, %24,6’sının ise
uzmanlık alanı tercihinde değişiklik görüldü. Kariyer planlamasında pandemi sonrası en çok
özel sektörde çalışmak tercih edildi. Pandemi öncesi en çok tercih edilen uzmanlık dalı Ağız,
Diş ve Çene Cerrahisi iken, pandemiyle birlikte en çok artış görülen bölüm Endodonti oldu.  

Sonuç. Covid-19 pandemisi, diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin kariyer ve uzmanlık alanı
tercihlerini etkilemiş, aerosol ve bulaş riski artışından ziyade; çalışma koşulları, maddi getiri
ve iş bulma olanağı gibi faktörler bu değişimde etkili olmuştur.

Objective. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on the
career planning and specialization preference of a group of Turkish dentistry students and the
factors affecting this.

Materials and Methods. 305 volunteer students from X University Faculty of Dentistry
participated in the study. A questionnaire consisting of 44 open-ended and multiple-choice
questions was sent to the students. In the survey, before and during Covid-19 career plans,
specialization preferences and the factors affecting them were questioned.

Results. With the Covid-19 pandemic, 23.3% of the students changed their career plan and
24.6% of them changed their field of specialization. In career planning, it was preferred to
work in the private sector after the pandemic. While the most preferred specialty was Oral and
Maxillofacial Surgery before the pandemic, the department with the highest increase after the
pandemic was Endodontics.

Conclusions. The Covid-19 pandemic affected the career and specialty preferences of
dentistry students, factors such as working conditions, financial return, and employment
opportunities, rather than aerosol and increased risk of contamination, were effective in this
change.
