Abstract

The ethos of the junior trainees' group is to facilitate peer support, an important complement to pursuing our speciality of oral and maxillofacial surgery. Launched in September 2020, the Buddy Scheme enables peer-matching. Results demonstrate this scheme has successfully provided additional support for second-degree applicants. With further help from our senior colleagues, our ambition is to expand this scheme in 2021.
