Aim: The aim of our study is to evaluate the knowledge of students at the end of their studies regarding the setting up and financing in dental private sector. Methods: We distributed anonymous questionnaire to 138 students at the end of their medical studies. Data entry and statistical analysis were carried out using SPSS software at the Faculty’s Community Health Epidemiology and Biostatistics Laboratory. Results: Only 3% of students know the required documents for setting up in a practice, 4.5% understand the definition of a lease contract. 80.4% of students admit their lack of knowledge regarding taxes, and 62.4% regarding tax declaration. 59.4% are unaware of the elements that should be included in insurance for a dental practice. 90.2% express a need for training in a private installation and 89.5% in financing. Conclusions: Despite the efforts made by the faculty of Dentistry of Casablanca, the results highlighted a major need for further training in setting up and financing a practice. To integrate the liberal installation into continuing Education, educational initiatives such as seminars and round-table discussions in collaboration with the order council and other partners involved are therefore necessary.
