I’m in a 6-year integrated OMS program. Just finished my OBGYN rotation, and have some free time. Ask away!

I participated today in a school seminar given to my class by one of the local dentists who was talking to us about Implantology and the current trends in the field. I found the field fascinating did a bit of research into the field. So after hours of searching, I learned that there is no...

I am a third year DMD student. When I first came into dental school, I was really interested in OMFS, but then started to gear towards ortho. Mainly because of the patient population, cleaner oral cavity, easy lifestyle, fun treatment planning, and happy current orthodontists I talk to. But a...

Hey everyone, I graduated DS in 2016. Was on track for omfs. Long story short, an urgent and very difficult family matter that began during D3 ultimately brought me home for two years following graduation. Worked as a GP—love my patients, but obviously don’t love the work. It allowed me to be...

Being almost done my first year of Dental school and going to second year, I was lucky to get some exposure to a few of the dental specialties and OMFS caught my attention. It is to my understanding that in North America there are 4 and 6 year programs with the 6 year programs granting a MD. My...

Hey guys! I'm a current 3DN, and I waited a bit too long to make up my mind about residencies. I always figured I'd fall back on an AEGD/GPR and just do general if I didn't decide on something. Recently I've been getting drawn in to OMFS and am seriously considering applying for a 4 year...

Most of these questions are geared towards students who have taken the exam multiple times and were successfully accepted into a OMFS program. Do the programs require you to submit all of your attempt results with your application or upon request? Do multiple attempts have any repercussions...

Hey! What type of hospital jobs are available after completing an OMFS residency? Any limited to those with the MD (6-Year)? I heard that one can pursue oncology afterwards and was curious what they are open to practice in a hospital setting! Thanks, guys! :)

Hey, guys! It's a bit early for me but I'm very curious... How is the job market right NOW for a full-time OMFS? Where are most of these jobs (location and private-practice/universities)? What is the estimated job growth in ten years for OMFS? I've been hearing/reading that the job market for...

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to be accepted into some amazing dental schools with Columbia, UPenn, and UCLA being among my favorites. As I am considering where I enroll, I wanted to ask graduates of these schools if the debt was worth attending that school. Columbia and Penn are very...

I've been meaning to post this for a year or so, but here it goes. One thing matters when you rank your options. One thing above all else. You'll encounter a lot of advice and methodology for ranking programs; people will record sedations, talk about osteotomy numbers, talk about their areas of...

I’m a first year intern at JPS – specializing in OMS. Let me know if you have any questions about the application and interview process. If I could do the application process over again, I would get more organized from the beginning. It’s too late to start researching who to contact, what to...

So I have been trying to read up on OMFS residencies NYU and BU... both are great programs in my opinion however I am open to other people’s perspectives. If you have any criteria on PROs and Cons of these programs please let me know because I can’t seem to find anything on these programs more...

Hi Everyone, I'm not new to SDN, but this is my first time posting. My question is on the differences in surgical capabilities that the various residencies for the following specialities provie : (a) Oral & Maxillofacial, (b) Otolaryngology-Head and Neck, and (c) Plastics. And this is just in...

Wow I have a similar inquiry but not to the point of dropping out. I am terrible with my hand skills, as well. I try to practice as much as I can but the didactics are also quite demanding so during exam weeks I end up slacking on the sim lab hours which definitely hurts any progress I make. The...

Hey everybody, I'm currently a second year dental student, pursuing an OMFS residency post-graduation. There is currently no OMFS organization at my school and myself and a fellow student are in the works of creating our own organization. For anybody that is currently on an exec. board or...

Hi, Is there is a specific kind of research you'd recommend pursuing for a future in OMFS?

Welcome to this years interview listing for the OMFS entering class of 2018. Please post when you receive an interview (email/phone/etc), institution, and dates provided. Good luck to everyone!

So i am a cursed dental student. If you are asking why then let me tell you, I study abroad and my school doesn't have class rank. I am looking to specialize and I think this will put me at a disadvantage when applying to an OMFS program. A- Not an American/Canadian school B- school doesn't have...

There are a few threads I've seen about shadowing in high school, but mostly just about shadowing general dentists and not oral surgeons. I'm really interested in dentistry and I hope to specialize and become an oral surgeon after regular dental school and I really want to shadow the oral...

This is my first post here on SDN, and it is a question that has always intrigued me. I am not specifically asking how much money any specialty makes, however I am curious about the dental GPR hospital residencies. I am considering hopefully going into OMFS down the road as I love the field, but...

Hi guys, Just wondering how close is the actual CBSE to the practic exam posted online? it seems that this test is way too easy? (this is what I'm referring to) http://www.nbme.org/pdf/SubjectExams/SE_ContentOutlineandSampleItems.pdf Thanks

Hi guys, I'm currently a medical student in Canada, I've already graduated from dental school (I have DMD degree, passed NBDE step 1 and 2, and wrote CBSE). OMFS has always been the thing I want to do (END and plastic are cool too, but still love OMFS). I would appreciate a lot if some...

Hey guys, I will be doing my CBSE in a year in order to get into OMFS and I was wondering what do you normally use as your best resources for your medical school studying? What's the best way to study physiology? What's the best way to study pathology for CBSE/USMLE? thank you very much!

Hey, if anybody out there knows of an open OMFS non-categorical position will you private message me? I have a friend that's looking. Thanks.

Recently scheduled an externship at Temple and was dismayed to hear that Temple is only interested in taking residents who have completed an intern year. Anyone know if this is the case, and if there are other programs with the same mentality?

So I want to get into a 6y OMFS program in the States or Canada (I am from Canada but studying outside North America ) and I was wondering am I at a disadvantage to someone who graduated from a dental school in North America given I have completed my boards and great score on CBSE as well as rec...

Hey ... So I am a Canadian student who happens to study in a non-Canadian dental school. I am almost done my second year of my dent school and I will be writing my NBDE part 1 the coming Feburary (2018). I was wondering about research opportunities because I would love to get into an OMFS...

Hi I want to apply for medical/dental school*, and I need some advice**. I know I really want to specialize in surgical specialties *** , I did some research on different medical and dental specialties, read many topics here, watched some of the procedures on youtube etc, and I came up with two...

Hey guys. Yet another time I need SDN wisdom. So, I'm at a dental school that offers a 6-yr OMFS program. All of the attendings are MD's. When I talk to them, they obviously are biased toward 6-year program and they think the MD degree makes one a better surgeon. I've been having meetings with...

So, the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine does not have an OMFS residency program affiliated with it. It does, however, have an oral surgery clinic. What is it like for the people wanting to go into OMFS over there and how do you go about getting involved in the field to make...

Hey all, I will be starting my D1 year this July. A big problem I had in my undergraduate was not knowing what I should be doing with my spare time to help my application, and my undergrad advising was garbage (here is looking at you University of Colorado). I was wondering if anybody had any...

Hi all, Wanted to get everyone's opinion on Penn Dental vs. Columbia Dental. I am under the impression of, or have been told, the following features of the two programs: 1) Given Columbia's medical school curriculum, Columbia will better prepare you for the OMFS boards exam and is...
