From shortened dental degree to OMFS consultancy: Evaluation of the outcome of the first 5 years of the King's College London Dentistry Programme for Medical Graduates course

Introduction: The Dentistry Programme for Medical Graduates (DPMG) course at King's College London (KCL) remains the only 3-year dental degree for medical graduates seeking to pursue a career in OMFS. Since its inception in 2006 it has enrolled 8-10 students per year with the first of these now taking up consultancy posts in OMFS. Our aim was to evaluate the outcome of this programme with regard the number of graduates entering OMFS specialist training.
