The data was collected from 204 participants. Descriptive analysis of the age and the scores of the PHEEM inventory was done.

Subgroup analysis in terms of gender and level of training was assessed with one way ANOVA test with post hoc analysis applying Tukey test.

Results: The mean age of the participants was 28.96±2.69 years. The total PHEEM inventory score of the dental hospitals of Rawalpindi and Islamabad was 100.51±20.18 showing more positive than negative educational environment. The total score for role of autonomy, teaching and social support was 35.04±6.10, 39.58±9.51 and 25.89±7.34 respectively.
