520 3 |a This dissertation presents a description and analysis of the pattern of geographic mobility among practicing dentists over the period 1976 to 1979. The data used were obtained from the American Dental Association's registry of dental school graduates. The first task undertaken is to quantify the rate of migration among dentists, and to demonstrate the strong effect that stage in the career cycle has on mobility. An analysis of the location choices of dentists entering private practice is presented, and it is found that a simple competitive model is a useful hypothesis for predicting the pattern of entry. Finally, an attempt is made to quantify the costs of migration faced by established practitioners, and the results suggest that location specific investment in a practice may be the most significant barrier to mobility among such dentists.
