    AbstractThe 1999 Report of the AADS President's Task Force on the Future of Dental School Faculty (1) drew attention to the situation dental schools are experiencing in attracting and retaining faculty. A year 2000 ADEA Association Report on faculty shortages indicated the number of vacant budgeted positions was approaching 400 (2). The year 2000 - 2001 ADEA survey of vacant budgeted positions indicates a further four percent increase in vacant budgeted positions. Over 73 percent of the vacancies were in the clinical sciences. Of identified full time faculty separations in the 2000-2001 ADEA Survey of Dental Educators (3), almost 34 percent were due to retirements; 33 percent were faculty moves to other schools; and a little over 18 percent were moves to enter private practice. Almost three percent of identified faculty separations were from deaths. It is anticipated that, with a further "graying" of an already aged dental school faculty, retirements will further exacerbate the problem of faculty vacancies and the ability to attract and retain new faculty. There is needed urgency in implementing strategies and recommendations provided in the 1999 President's Report and the 2000 Association Report.
