Vocational training. A year of opportunity.
Vocational training, a stepping stone or a wasted year? The response speaks for itself. The need was perceived for some sort of cushioning between under-graduate protection and the harsh realities of a working day in general practice. The support for the scheme from dental students was overwhelming. The worried conversations of some final year students, discussing their futures, should change dramatically. The new graduate can now face the challenges of his first steps in the real world with more confidence and security. Yet, argues Simon Lewis, vocational training offers much more than just a stepping-stone.
