The oral medicine workforce and impact on access to care in the United States
Objectives
The objective of this study was to characterize the current oral medicine (OM) workforce by examining the distribution of OM diplomates (OMDs) across the Unites States and to determine the need for expanding access to care.
Study Design
The OMD access was calculated based on the OMDs per 10,000 state population from the 2020 US Census data as well as their distance from state capitals and most populated cities. OMD penetrance in hospitals and cancer centers was assessed at National Cancer Care Network (NCCN) cancer centers, and Best Hospitals as reported in the 2022 US News and World Report (USNWR).
Results
OMDs are present in 64% of the states with an uneven geographic distribution. Primary workplaces included dental schools (47%), hospitals (30%), and private practices (19%). Of the OMDs in private practice, 57% limited their practice to OM. OMDs were noted at 28% of NCCN cancer centers, 30% of USNWR Best Hospitals for Cancer, and 20% of USNWR Best Hospitals.
Conclusions
There is low density and uneven distribution of OMDs with approximately one-third of the population without access to an OMD in their state, thus limiting access to care. This suggests both vast opportunities for growth and expansion of OM, as well as challenges in developing and training the necessary workforce.
期刊介绍:
Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology is required reading for anyone in the fields of oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology, oral radiology or advanced general practice dentistry. It is the only major dental journal that provides a practical and complete overview of the medical and surgical techniques of dental practice in four areas. Topics covered include such current issues as dental implants, treatment of HIV-infected patients, and evaluation and treatment of TMJ disorders. The official publication for nine societies, the Journal is recommended for initial purchase in the Brandon Hill study, Selected List of Books and Journals for the Small Medical Library.
