A survey of surgical rotations for oral & maxillofacial surgery trainees.

Seventy oral and maxillofacial surgery departments were sent questionnaires to determine whether they made provision for their medically qualified registrars to undergo 1 year's surgical training in recognition for the Part II FRCS oral and maxillofacial surgery option of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. Fifty-six (80%) replies were received revealing that 11 (19.6%) departments had existing arrangements for a surgical rotation while 14 (25%) had plans to implement one. These results are further reported.
