Post-qualification dental training. Part 1: perceptions of different dental foundation and dental core training pathways

摘要

Introduction Upon completion of dental foundation training (DFT), a number of dental graduates apply for further training known as dental core training (DCT). Alternatively, there are two-year integrated training pathways within both primary and secondary care; known as longitudinal dental foundation training (LDFT). There is a lack of evidence supporting LDFT and how this compares to DFT and DCT.
