“…This percent is less than reported by Scoggin et al who found that, among OT programs, 59 percent of respondents indicated clinical practice takes time away from the educator role. 9 Scoggin et al also found OT faculties (32 percent) participated in clinical practice less than DH faculties (67 percent). Faculty shortages could be a reason for these findings because FT faculties have to increase their workload at programs with faculty shortages.…”

The purpose of this research project was to determine how many U.S. dental hygiene (DH) programs had full-time (FT) faculty members who provided direct patient care unrelated to the curriculum. Questions in this project also assessed attitudes and opinions of DH directors regarding clinical practice and opportunities for salary supplementation. A questionnaire of twenty open-ended and closed-ended questions was designed on Survey Monkey, an online survey engine. After IRB approval and pilot testing, 278 U.S. DH program directors received two emails with the survey link requesting their participation. A response rate of 69.1 percent (n=192) was achieved. Results revealed that 14.2 percent of the programs required FT DH faculties to participate in clinical practice settings unrelated to the curriculum, while 67 percent of the programs had faculties who also participated in clinical practice. Eighty-three percent of respondents reported faculties who participated in clinical practice were financially compensated. The majority (95.4 percent) of directors indicated maintaining clinical skills was an advantage to clinical practice, while 48 percent of directors indicated participation takes time away from being an educator. Overall, the majority of DH programs did not require FT faculties to participate in clinical practice; however, respondents were generally in favor of allowing faculties the opportunity to practice and thought that it enhanced their competency as clinical instructors.Ms.

“…Numerous studies have been conducted on FPP in health care programs, such as nursing, occupational therapy (OT), and medicine. [6][7][8][9][10] Various definitions of faculty practice have been proposed in the literature. McClure defines faculty practice as "doing what you teach others to do."…”
