Abstract
AbstractAimThis study aims to gather information about Oral Surgery training programmes by carrying out a survey of the trainees currently in post.Materials and methodsA web‐based questionnaire was sent to current Oral Surgery trainees. Questions about training environment, clinical exposure, examinations and future career aspirations were included.ResultsThirty of the 40 trainees contacted responded by part or fully completing the questionnaire. The mean time period of qualification from dental school to Oral Surgery training was 5.1 years. The majority, 80%, of trainees were on a 3‐year full‐time programme that entitled them to sit the Membership in Oral Surgery Examination (M Oral Surg) only. Four trainees who responded were eligible to sit both M Oral Surg and the Intercollegiate Specialty Fellowship Exam.ConclusionsThe questionnaire highlighted areas Oral Surgery trainees perceived to be important for their training and development. Identification of these issues will allow attention to be focused in addressing them.
