    Author: Szuster FS, Nastri AL, Goss AN, Spencer AJ.
    Journal: Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2000 Aug; 29(4):305-8. PubMed ID: 11030405.
    Abstract:
    This study examined the demographic characteristics, educational background and attitudes toward training of all recent OMS specialists and all current trainees in Australia and New Zealand in 1996. The early nineties is a key period as it marks the transition from an essentially dentally based speciality (85% dental degree in 1990); to recent specialists with an increasing number with both medical and dental degrees (33% dual degree 1990-1996); to predominantly dual degree training (84.4% dual in 1996). Current trainees had more extensive experience in pathology, preprosthetic and reconstructive surgery. They were also strongly critical of the length and cost of training.
