“…(2018) hacen referencia al alto costo, el tiempo extenso del desarrollo y la interrupción del estilo de vida 27 , la ausencia de mentoría, falta de realismo en la expectativa y fricción personal con los docentes. 28 En el Perú se reportan algunos otros factores que complementan a los anteriores, como la oferta académica limitada de la universidades peruanas, por ejemplo las especialidades de Medicina y Patología Estomatológica, Auditoría Odontológica y Salud Pública Estomatológica, son solo ofertadas por la Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia 29 , no existiendo formación para Administración y Gestión en Estomatología, Implantología Oral Integral y Salud Familiar y Comunitaria en Odontología a pesar de su reconocimiento con el COP; la alternativa al elevado costo de los programas de posgrado en Segunda Especialidad es la modalidad de Residentado Odontológico (donde el Estado a través de una IPRESS financia la formación de profesionales a diferencia de la modalidad Ordinaria donde el estudiante corre con todo el financiamiento), pero este aún tiene una cantidad mínima de vacantes ofertadas, concentrada solo en tres sedes docentes (Universidad Peruana 51 Cayetano Heredia, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos y el Universidad Nacional Federico Villareal) y todos ubicados en la ciudad de Lima, que resulta en una limitante para los estudiantes.…”

“…Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) is considered a dental specialty in most African countries, and is one of the most sought after specialty by final year African dental students and intending residents.

Background: Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) is the surgical specialty concerned with the treatment of a broad range of conditions that affect the head, face, mouth, neck, and jaw. In Africa, there is a paucity of information about the specialist training available to aspiring African Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. Objective: This paper aimed at shedding light on the available OMFS specialist training programmes and training pathways across Africa. Materials and Methods: The authors searched on PubMed, AJOL, and Google Scholar using the keywords “Africa,” “Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery,” “Residency,” “Postgraduate,” and “Education” and the individual African countries in English and official languages from inception till July 11, 2022. The authors utilised a questionnaire to interview native oral and maxillofacial surgeons and dentists in African countries where there were no published data on OMFS specialist training. Results: A total of 21 (38.8%) African countries had OMFS specialist training programmes (n = 69). The duration of training varies between 2 and 7 years. The number of training programmes per country ranges between one and thirteen. Countries with the most training programmes for OMFS in Africa are Nigeria, Egypt, Sudan, and Algeria. Northern Africa and Central Africa had the most and least numbers of specialist training programmes in OMFS, respectively. Conclusion: There remains a disparity in the number of specialist training programmes available to aspiring African Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons as compared with other parts of the world. This paper is intended to function both as a means of advocacy to increase funding and resources in support of the infrastructure and development of facilities for African OMFS specialist training programmes and also serve as a valuable reference for future research in OMFS.
