Background: Public health is gaining importance in India with increasing emphasis on preventive and community-based healthcare. However, the awareness and inclination of dental professionals toward pursuing a Master’s in Public Health (MPH) remain uncertain. Understanding dental interns’ and residents’ perceptions can guide curriculum development and career counselling. Aim: To evaluate the level of awareness among dental interns and residents in Gujarat regarding the scope and opportunities of pursuing public health as a career option. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey was conducted among 384 dental interns and postgraduate residents from various dental colleges across Gujarat. A pre-tested, self-administered Google Form consisting of closed-ended questions assessed participants’ awareness, attitudes, and perceived barriers toward an MPH degree. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage) and inferential analysis (Chi-square test) to compare responses between interns and residents. Results: The findings revealed that overall awareness regarding the MPH program and its career opportunities was low among participants. While most respondents recognized the role of public health in improving community well-being, only a small proportion expressed interest in pursuing an MPH after BDS. Significant differences were observed between interns and residents in their awareness levels (p < 0.05). Limited information, lack of guidance, and uncertainty about career prospects were the most cited barriers. Conclusion: The study highlights a gap in awareness about public health as a potential career path among dental professionals in Gujarat. Incorporating public health orientation and structured counselling sessions in the dental curriculum could help bridge this gap and encourage interdisciplinary participation in community health initiatives.
