2025 JTG Essay Competition

The JTG is proud to present our 2025 essay competition!

The competition is open to all UK and ROI Undergraduate dental and medical students, and dental/medical trainees whom do not currently hold a national training number (NTN).

The essay topic is as follows:

“With increasing competition ratios for surgical training the specialty of OMFS is still underrecruiting. What could be done to rectify the current recruitment crisis and secure our future workforce?”

The winner will receive a free ticket to this year’s JTG conference, and their work will be shared on JTG social media platforms, including here on the website.

The deadline for submissions have now passed, and submissions are in the process of being rated. Entrants will be notified of outcome by email.
