Incoming students to the School of Dentistry, University of Otago, were surveyed in 1992, 1993, and 1994. Since 1992 there has been a marked trend for the students to originate from an overseas culture, to have more wealthy parents who support their education, and an increase in the numbers who expect to practice overseas upon graduation. This has implications for workforce planning in New Zealand and raises issues relating to equality of access to tertiary education.
