Changing first degrees of OMFS trainees and specialists 1996–2020

Introduction: For most of its history, oral and maxillofacial surgery has been a surgical specialty for those who have trained in dentistry. Even when dual medical and dental qualifications became mandated, most trainees undertook medicine as their second degree. In the last decade two major changes in training had a joint impact on OMFS training, availability and access to shortened dental degrees for medical graduates and the training earthquake of the Medical Training Appointment Service (MTAS).
