FRCSEd (Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery): a milestone in the history of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in the United Kingdom.

The British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (BAOMS) and the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd) have had leading roles in organisation, assessment and improvement of surgical training in the United Kingdom. This was particularly well illustrated by the establishment of the fellowship examination in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (FRCSEd, OMFS).
