Senior residents' opinions about oral surgery programs.
A questionnaire for senior oral surgery residents was distributed to elicit their opinions about various phases of their oral surgical training. Of 206 questionnaires sent to members of house staffs in approved programs, 122 responses (59%) were received. The average senior resident felt well prepared in exodontia, trauma, and orthognathic surgery. He considered himself much less prepared in pediatric oral surgery and tumor management. The average resident believed oral surgery was well regarded and would again choose his own program for training.
