A pilot scheme for a second year of vocational training started in January 1994 in the West Midlands region. The position involved working part time as an associate dental surgeon in an approved general dental practice and part time as a house officer rotating around the various departments at the Birmingham Dental Hospital. Throughout the year there were 15 days termed 'study days' when lectures and courses on topics requested by those involved were arranged. At the end of the year those involved in the scheme were eligible to take the DGDP examination. This paper outlines my own thoughts of the year. © 1995 Nature Publishing Group. All rights reserved.
