No change in the teaching of oral and maxillofacial surgery to medical students

We read with interest the recent paper by Hamid et al.1 We commend them for publishing an excellent paper that further highlights the lack of teaching about oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) and lack of awareness of the specialty among medical students.2 Their findings echo our own, as we showed that 72% (183/253) of English medical students and 85% (318/374) of Irish medical students3 had no exposure to it. Several years on, it seems that this has remained a trend, with 89% (178/200) of students1 having had no clinical exposure.
