Hello Sir,
Have you ever heard of or seen a medical student make the transition to OMFS in the Army? I have heard of civilian medical students doing this through Louisville and University of Michigan.
I am currently an Otolaryngology hopeful, but I would also like to look into what it would take for me to get into OMFS in the Army. I enjoy the entire field of ENT, but I am very interested in cranio-maxillofacial and cleft palate reconstruction of which ENTs, once out of residency, do not get much action. I am an Army HPSP student and have a four year medical school obligation. I also have a three year obligation for undergraduate ROTC. So, I am obligated to the Army for a while.
I am aware that I would have to attend some dental school. I would assume the last two years of dental school would be required to mirror the requirement of the last two years of medical school for traditional 6 year OMFS. I also assume I would need to take Part I and II of the dental boards. If you can speak to any of this I would be very appreciative.
Thank you!!!
