“…5 It could be argued that this has reduced the accessibility of surgical research for a wider cadre of trainees. Some support the reserving of research for those truly interested in academic surgery; 6 others regret the loss of the ability to complement clinical training with broader experiences. 7 Against this background we set out to determine the current attitudes towards spending a period of time away from clinical training programmes by conducting a survey of paediatric surgical trainees and examining what factors were important to young surgeons when considering career development opportunities.…”

Traditionally, in UK-based surgical training, the majority of trainees spend a period of time out of clinical training undertaking research, usually leading to the award of a postgraduate degree or thesis (MD or PhD). The intention of this was to supplement clinical with academic training that developed skills such as critical appraisal, independent working and systematic thinking to enrich future surgical practice. The opportunity for academic activity is a significant factor in choosing a surgical career for many trainees.

INTRODUCTION There is a perception that the training pathway for oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) is unduly long and arduous, as consultant oral and maxillofacial surgeons must be doubly qualified (that is, hold degrees in medicine and dentistry) and be holders of two higher fellowships. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed the data regarding the average age of National Training Number (NTN) holders and GMC data on the year of first registration and the year of entry onto a specialist surgical list for all 9 surgical specialties. RESULTS The results showed the average age of the surgical SpR populations ranged from 33.5 to 38.2 years with an average age of 36.14 years. OMFS SpR's average age is 37.69 years. The GMC data showed the average number of months from full to specialist registration ranged from 90.83 months to 135.24 months, with OMFS surgeons having the lowest average. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that OMFS surgeons are of a similar age to other surgeons whilst in training. In addition, they have the shortest transit time between full GMC registration and entry onto the specialist list. The length of this training even with dual qualification is similar to other surgical specialties.
