{Abstract}: <B>BACKGROUND: </B>The Specialized Diploma in Oral Surgery (Dipl&#244;me d&#8217;&#233;tudes sp&#233;cialis&#233;es en chirurgie orale) was established in 2011. It gives its holders a unique combination of medical and surgical expertise. As a specialty, oral surgery can be pursued via both medical and dental pathways. However, the criteria guiding students&#8217; choice of first job after residency remain largely unknown.<BR><B>OBJECTIVE: </B>The primary objective was to evaluate the factors influencing students&#8217; choice of first job after completing their oral surgery residency.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>The main geographical factors influencing job choice were the presence of family or friends, a short commute, and the location of the spouse&#8217;s place of work. Key practice conditions included access to advanced technical facilities and an operating theater offering general anesthesia. Clinical activities ranged from pre-implant grafts to general oral surgery. The likelihood of pursuing a hospital-based position in the same facility was correlated with the well-being experienced during the residency (p &lt; 0.05) and with the oral surgeons&#8217; medical background (p = 0.001). Significant associations exist between region of origin, internship location, and practice region (p &lt; 0.001; p &lt;0.001).<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>The main factors influencing the choice of first position after oral surgery residency depend on family-related and technical criteria.
