SBAs for the Oral and Maxilliofacial Surgery FRCS

Training in oral and maxillofacial surgery is lengthy and demanding, requiring dual qualification in dentistry and medicine, followed by completion of a higher surgical training program. The ‘exit’ examination leading to the awarding of the specialty Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, the FRCS (OMFS), represents the final academic step of training. For Section 1 of the examination, one day is dedicated to an examination of single best answers (SBAs). These are undertaken as two tests, each 2 hours 15 minutes in length. The questions encompass the entire daunting syllabus of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, including orthognathic surgery, craniomaxillofacial trauma, surgical oncology and dermatology, oral medicine, craniofacial surgery, dentoalveolar surgery, temporomandibular disorders, salivary gland disease, local flap and free tissue transfer, oral implantology, and cleft surgery. The aim of this book is to give candidates an understanding of the range of clinical subjects that would be encountered in an assessment appropriately blueprinted against the full breadth of the syllabus. This includes pertinent subjects that are generally not covered in other FRCS revision books such as ethics, consent, and negligence. As such it will be of interest to clinicians in related specialties, including dermatology, oral surgery, ENT, and plastic surgery.
