title: Orthodontic postgraduate training in Germany--have we anything to learn?
abstract: In 1996, the authors were able to visit the University Orthodontic Unit in Marburg, Germany. Author FL was able to undertake the visit as part of a discretionary secondment for specialist training and this article describes the author's (FL) experience of orthodontic, postgraduate training there, and highlights differences between training in the U.K. and Germany. In the current climate of change with regard to specialist training, it seemed timely to investigate how training occurs elsewhere in Europe.
