Still one position available! ^

 

[massjawdoc]

There is still an open position at NUMC in Long Island New York for those interested in a 1 year OMFS non cat . Please see above post for details.

Asked this on a different thread but was still curious what programs are still open.

How many programs still have open noncats? Seems that applicants are trending to not wanting to do them. (Only asking mainly because I have a noncat lined up but wanted to know the atmosphere on noncats)

Non-Categorical Internship Position (Non-Categorical PGY-1) available at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

The TJUH OMFS program is an accredited 4-year and 6-year OMFS Program in Philadelphia, PA with four categorical positions each year (2 in each track). We are looking for hard-working, self-motivated individuals who are looking to build their CV for residency applications. All prospective applicants must be eligible for an unrestricted Pennsylvania Dental license, a DEA license, and should have their own form of transportation. We have 4 non-categorical positions each year.

Our scope covers almost everything an OMFS can do including head and neck oncologic and reconstructive surgery, management of benign and malignant pathology, microvascular reconstructive surgery, orthognathic surgery, management of facial trauma, dentoalveolar surgery, implant surgery, and TMJ surgery.

Non-categorical interns are treated the same as our categorical interns with identical responsibilities. Responsibilities include:

• Coverage of our main hospital in Center City Philadelphia (Level 1 trauma) and our satellite hospital in Northeast Philadelphia (Jefferson Torresdale, Level 2)
• Coverage of our outpatient clinics located in Center City, Torresdale, Navy Yard and Bryn Mawr (extractions, biopsies, pre-prosthetic surgery, sedations, OR pre/post-ops, hospital follow-ups, outpatient H&N procedures)
• Involvement in OR cases in Center City, Northeast Philadelphia and occasionally Methodist Hospital (located in Center City). We operate every day of the week.
• Rounding on inpatients and managing their care at our Center City and Northeast Philadelphia locations
• Taking primary call (4-7x/month). Home-call (non-trauma and trauma). Trauma is split with ENT every other month. Call is only taken for Center City, not Methodist or our Northeast Philadelphia Hospital location.
• Involvement in all TJUH OMFS didactic activities

This is a paid position with full benefits through TJUH. Additional information regarding salary or benefits may be found on the TJUH Resident Information page (Resident Salary, Benefits & Other Information).

We have continued to enhance our didactic curriculum which includes an oral pathology course, monthly journal clubs, weekly case presentations and weekly lectures from residents, faculty, and guest lecturers. This position is an excellent opportunity to prepare you if you are reapplying to the OMS match in 2025. You will be working daily and directly under the supervision of multiple oral surgeons and will directly participate in surgical cases.

If you are interested in this position, please contact our Program Coordinator Ms. Joanna Schultz @ [email protected]. You must be attending or have graduated from an accredited US or Canadian dental school (or an advanced placement program). If qualified, we will set up a Zoom interview with our Program Director in the coming days.

Thank you in advance for your interest in our program!

Feel free to DM me with any questions!

We had 1 position recently open up for this upcoming 2024-2025 year. Please feel free to reach out to me or our Program Coordinator with any questions

OMFS Internship at UMKC: Still looking for interns.

UMKC School of Dentistry in Kansas City, Missouri is looking to fill two non-categorial internship positions. Non-categorical interns have the same responsibilities as categorical interns. Duties include:

• Running the OMFS clinic at the UMKC School of Dentistry
• Taking in-house call (q4-5) at Truman Medical Center and Children's Mercy Hospital
  • OMFS covers trauma and dental call 365/24/7 at both hospitals; we do not share with ENT or plastics
• Assisting in the OR
• Participating in weekly lectures and monthly journal club

Personal Experience: I am currently a non-categorical intern at the dental school. At this point, I'm comfortable interpreting CTs, repairing complex facial/scalp lacerations, doing bedside I&Ds of dental infections and PTAs, managing facial fractures, placing patients into MMF with ivy loops or arch bars, and dentoalveolar procedures (extractions of impacted teeth, alveoloplasties, socket preservations, tori removals, soft tissue reductions, etc.). The culture here is awesome. I've already made some lifelong friends in the short amount of time I've been here. Next year's chiefs and upper levels are fantastic and will always be there when you need 'em. Lastly, I don't know if I'll match on Monday, but I did get 20+ interview invites this cycle, and I had plenty to talk about when asked about my experiences as an intern.

If you're interested, please send your CV and CBSE score (if you've taken the exam) to Solon Kao at [email protected]. Must be a US citizen or a green card holder and qualify for a Missouri Dental License.

 

[AugustaOMFS]

The Augusta University Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Program is looking for another Non-categorical Intern to join us for the 2024-2025 academic year!

We are a full scope Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery program located in Augusta, Georgia and cover the Level I trauma center at Augusta University Medical Center and the Level II pediatric trauma center at the Children’s Hospital of Georgia attached to AUMC.

There is an emphasis on mentorship and preparing Non-categorical Interns for the next match and beyond. We have had historically high match rates amongst our Interns! This year, 3 of our Interns matched. Once Interns have demonstrated solid clinical abilities, they are able to split 3rd molar cases with upper levels and have been placing implants prior to leaving.

We have had a recent change in philosophy and scope and are now only doing the ablative portion of malignant pathology cases only. We are heavy in dentoalveolar surgery and sedations, and additionally get great exposure to trauma and TMJ.

Facilities and responsibilities for Interns/Residents:

• Dental College of Georgia: This is a busy outpatient clinic serving patients from both the dental school and the Veterans Association. You will be able to perform dentoalveolar procedures and see consults and follow-ups in all aspects of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery including but not limited to extractions/implants, orthognathics, benign/malignant pathology (no microvascular), and temporomandibular joint disorders.
• AUMC: Interns along with categorical residents are responsible for rounding and managing inpatients throughout the week. Call will be split approximately q5-7 at AUMC with 2 weeks out of each month being trauma call (home call). OMFS covers infection call daily, but there are no dental extractions in the ED and GPR handles splinting of teeth and small vestibular abscesses. The pediatric ED is attached to the adult ED. OMFS has its own dedicated call room and shower requiring access key to enter along with a lounge on the same floor with free food/drink/coffee.
• ASMP: You will be rotating a few days each month at the Augusta State Medical Prison where you will have a robust experience in extractions of teeth (including plenty of 3rds) under local anesthesia and seeing trauma exams and follow-ups. It is not unusual for an Intern to have up to 3 sets of wisdom teeth extractions on a given day at ASMP. The ASMP allows for us to gain more trauma experience and trauma cases are often evaluated during the day there rather than being overnight consults.

Didactics:

• Didactics are held every Wednesday afternoon with lectures from attendings, presentations from upper level residents, as well as mock boards and emergency drills
• Journal clubs are held once a month where we go out as a group to restaurants with sales reps
• Implant conference takes place on Wednesday afternoons
• OMFS has multidisciplinary conferences with the orthodontics department and pathology lectures as well
• Interns can take part in research of their choosing during the year and are encouraged to do so both to strengthen their application and to gain knowledge on research and the field of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Pay is approximately $50,000 for the year, with plenty of places to live that are reasonably priced and close to the Medical Center.

Documents required:

• CV
• CBSE
• INBDE Scores
• Dental school transcript

Please contact the Program Director Dr. Newman [email protected] to apply for the position.
